Anytime you try something different or new you can almost expect something will not go as smoothly as you would like, regardless of how much planning you put into it. Soooooooo.....when you're expecting 4 cameras and photographers for your first annual Saints Day and only 2 show up, what do you do? You do the same thing you do in life when you're dealt a bad hand. You make the best of it, and that is exactly what our parents and students did. To be perfectly honest, our parents handled this 500% better than I did.....(I was not happy). The lack of photographers made for a long line for the first few hours to get photos and student ID's taken. Once a thrid photographer showed up things ran much better. Our kids and parents were great.
Bump in the road number two occured when we ran out of textbooks that were barcoded. The barcodes have been on order and will be here before school, assigned to the books so that they can be passed out the first day of school. Other than those little bumps in the road, Saints Day was a HUGE success. Having this activity before school opens allows us to hit the ground running when school begins in September. Thanks again for all your help and patience and a special thanks to everyone that helped out.
(If this is the worse day of the year for me then I've got it made.)
