Earth Day 2008



Today, Courtney & Connor participated in a musical program to celebrate Earth Day. They sang all kinds of songs about recycling, conserving energy, and endangered animals. Basically, just save our planet. They had to make their own shirts for their "costumes". Here are a few pictures. One is of Courtney, Connor & Madi Kaus. Madi is Connor's "significant other". Isn't she cute? And her dad is a fireman too. And the other picture is Courtney, Connor & Jeffrey. Jeffrey is also in 4th grade, and attends the Special Needs Class. He is the sweetest boy. I went on a field trip with the 4th grade a few months ago, and I told Jeffrey that the easiest way to remember my name was to remember "Toe" and point to your toe, and remember "Knee" and point to your knee. Ever since then, whenever Jeffrey sees me, he says "HI TONI" and points to my toe and then my knee. And then I get a HUGE Jeffrey hug. It makes me melt. And my kids are so good with him. They treat him like any other kid their age, and Jeffrey's mom has told me on many occasions that she appreciates Courtney & Connor so much because they genuinely like Jeffrey, and always take the time to talk to him, or play with him at recess (although one time he got a little rough with Courtney and tackled her. Whoa!) It's nice to see that Hugh and I are doing something right as parents.
