I don't know if any of you are familiar with House Mouse designs - but I think they are just the cutest ever. They have tons of products, from stationery to tote bags and sweatshirts. You can check them out at http://www.house-mouse.com/. Very cute. This particular design reminds me of all the costuming that we're soon going to be doing with Peter and the Wolf.
This was one of those weeks at school. Our fifth graders all seemed to be abusing "idiot pills." Such behavior! Such bad decisions! Such attitudes! They were so obnoxious and rude with the parent chaperones on our final ski school trip (if it hadn't already been the last one, it would have been after how they acted), that every teacher ended up dedicating the first thirty minutes of school on Wednesday to reading them the riot act. Not only did I mount my broom and do several laps around the room, I also released the flying monkeys. It was not a good week. For anyone.
Dance will now be focusing on our spring performances. We're going to do a variety show in June called On the Air with a radio theme. In May we will be touring area schools with Peter and the Wolf. Thanks to the looming budget cuts, everyone is worried that few schools will sign up and those that already have may be forced to cancel. We're trying to find business sponsors to help defray the costs. Not easy in this economy. The arts always take the first and hardest hit. It really is a shame, because the benefits are so great.
Very sad news. Former colleague and friend, Brianna, just had a miscarriage. This comes after struggling to get pregnant for over two years. Life is very unfair. I see SO many parents who shouldn't be allowed to raise children. My heart just aches for her.
