Well, as a class, we did it! The students' rummage sale and car wash was a success on many levels. Over 600 dollars was raised for tsunami relief, and leftover rummage was donated to Goodwill, Friends of the Library, and PARCA. True, there was a moment or two where we all wondered, "what is going to happen with all of this stuff??!!" But in true Ocean Shore nature, it was moved and taken care of before 3:00 in the afternoon. The children all participated, even the ones that couldn't join us on SUnday, and over half of the families were washing, selling, cleaning, organizing, cheering, laughuing, supporting and giving so much on the day of the event (in some cases, paying 5 dollars to wash their own car!!)
To say that I am proud of them is not saying nearly enough.
5 weeks and counting, and it looks like I will be moving my apartment into storage for the summer. The list continues to grow, but all is good. Jamie is getting set for the trip. She had three shots just today, and has to go back for two more. What an adventure that keeps evolving.
