So we had another special student training the other end of summer day. Although there are a couple of us that showed up to work with all of the student leaders, there were two teachers in particular that are trained to lead the leaders :-) Both of these male teachers did an amazing job in putting together the program and training the students. The training days went so fantastic and everything was so well organized. I just wanted to make them something special for putting in their extra time.
2. Participated in a Community Service Race
So let me please make this clear: I do not like to run. I do like the challenge of it and working on something physically active that I am not good at. But again, I do not like to run. Anyway starting last Thanksgiving and March, I've started to run local 5K's to work on this skill. Then throughout this summer I have picked up the racing chronicles and started to participate in 1-2 races a month with 3 days of training a week (other days I either lift weights, zumba, or yoga). Yesterday was a race called the 'Non-Traditional Donut Run. Apparently, traditional donut runs consist of running a mile eating donuts, running another mile eating more donuts, and then running the last mile eating yet more donuts. The amount of donuts you eat is a minute off of your overall time. However, this race was only sponsored by a community donut shop and no donuts were harmed during this activity. The coolest thing about this race is that all the money collected at the entrance fee will go to the Army Vet Hospital for various services that they may need.
By the way, my time for the 5K was 32:20. I know, I'm a slow poke. Again, something I'm working on.
3. Made scones for the school's Administration
So the Administration at my school have all been working the past few days in preparation for the teachers and then the students to come back. We also have a new intern Admin this year. So just to say 'Welcome Back' in a tasty style, I made each of them a care package of Jamocha Mocha Scones - a new flavor that I am trying out.
4. Made cupcakes for the school's Staff members
We began our teacher work days this past week at our home school. I know that many other staff members are sad to come back to work, but as for me - I love it! I love the regular routine of the day and I've missed my band students very much. The summer time is tough for me because I feel so lost without my regular schedule - WELCOME FALL!!! Anyway, just to say hi and welcome to all of the other staff members I made around 100 cupcakes for everyone to eat. A 'sweet' way to start the school year!
5. Bought another staff member special pens
Its so funny how different teachers decorate their room so differently then what you may think. Like we have a social studies room that is decked out in superhero materials, another that has a Hawaiian theme, and another that is covered with Raven's football stuff. Anyway there is a science teacher that I have been having some conflict with in regards to rehearsal times and such. Her room is covered with different colored dots, which yet again makes it very unique and personalized. So while I was at the store the other day I saw these pens that were covered in dots. Instantly when I saw them I thought of this particular teacher and bought them for her. Although we may not agree on our opinions, I must admit that she is a valuable teacher within my school.
