Spirit Day

Last Friday was our school's "Spirit Day." This is a day when all the students get to sign up and attend various workshops put together by some teachers as well as guest speakers from the community or school network. There was a great variety of workshops from makeup to archery to batteries and bolts to making cupcake castles.

Teachers are also given time to visit the various sessions during the day too. Every year, I'm very impressed with the amount of creativity and richness these various workshops bring to our students. For instance, the Mother's Day potted plants in the picture above were put together from scratch by Gr.1-3 students with the help of a parent guest speaker and volunteers.

And every year, I always visit one of my favourite sessions that always happen to return called "Reptiles..." It's awesome because we get to hold and play with all sorts of snakes without having to be afraid that they would bite or kill us. Here's one around my neck! They're really not that bad...except for the fact that they eat live mice...but let's not get into that.
