Today was the PTO prize drawing - right after the talent show. I don't think the PTO raised the money that they had hoped - though each day seemed to get a little more money than the first. I'm thinking this morning was our busiest morning. Maybe not. I just felt like it was.
Jenna did not beat the odds this time. She did not win the scooter or the summer pack. 9 consolation prizes were picked from all of the tickets entered in each drawing. Three kites, two water bottles, four cheesecakes and two haircuts. I bet they could have done key chains and t-shirts as well - perhaps it was discussed at a former meeting. I don't know. I wasn't there.
The child who had turned in the most money received a $50. gift card to Wal-Mart. It had come from a kindergartner who had two other prizes. The money she had received earned her over 60 tickets - most which went towards the baby doll - which she won.
I think our competitor - who checked the status every morning - should have gotten a consolation as well. It was only $5.00 difference. But I didn't think about it until after I returned home - not that I actually had a say in it. It wasn't my project or my idea. I was just trying to put in some missed volunteer hours.
I had really jumped the gun by titling this post. Sick most all of February. And I'm still not quite there. And since spring break will be starting tomorrow, I can't see that my routine will be that until after Jenna returns to school on the 8th. She will be nine when she returns. Right now she is eight.
We'll have another PTO meeting right after spring break. Perhaps I can find a routine then.
