When they said RRWeek was coming up, for a brief moment I thought about pulling them out and homeschooling them again. Then they told me what was required. HUGE sigh of relief. The schools have been pretty cool in general. With Red Ribbon Week, fundraisers, etc. It has always been kind of FYI, if you want to do it. Not whip the kids into a frenzy and try to make them all want to do it junk. It's been nice. Nothing at all like schools I went to as a kid.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451181089905438936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508414439548446424.post-70428942419351553872011-10-27T12:34:48.589-07:002011-10-27T12:34:48.589-07:00becky - YOU GOT IT EASY!!! soooooooooo jealous. ...becky - YOU GOT IT EASY!!! soooooooooo jealous. ;o) shannon - stat - mail me those malawi t-shirts!!!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00015313115711205106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508414439548446424.post-27492413139019891612011-10-27T00:37:57.016-07:002011-10-27T00:37:57.016-07:00Obviously I am a slacker friend.

That is still one of my favorite blog posts of all time, on any blog. <br /><br />When the kids mentioned Red Ribbon Week was coming up, I instantly thought of you and got all nervous. (I obviously had forgotten about Red Ribbon Week when we made the decision to sign them up for school this year.) But the kids here are supposed to wear red or purple every day. No problem with my red and purple loving girls. The 9 year old is content to only participate when it is convenient. You know when his red shirt is clean. Nine year old boy thing? <br /><br />They are supposed to wear a hat on Friday. The end. I was hugely relieved. I'm glad it was less stressful on you this year. Though I was kind of anticipating the annual Red Ribbon post :) I do think it is funny that of all the stuff they could keep, they kept the 70s tie in. Funny.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451181089905438936noreply@blogger.com
