Today, as my fingers and brain thaw from sitting through a chilly first grade football game (oh yes, you can just imagine the intense first grade football action that took place, as hypothermia began to set in), I present a highlight (highlight is perhaps a stretch) from the first month of school.
Going through the mountain of papers brought home during the first week of school, I posed the following question to my 6th grader Jacob.
Me, referencing a school fundraising activity flier: “It looks like fun, but what are they raising money for?”
Jacob, my ever observant son: “I’m not sure. They had an assembly about it.”
No word on it he left his brain in his locker, while the rest of his body attended the assembly.
