We live in a small town, so there isn’t a lot of things to do, especially during the winter months. One of our favorite places to bring the girls is the elementary school. It has a little bit of every thing there, so we frequent it often.
The last time we went, my littlest one brought her new soccer ball Santa got her and played with my 8 yr old (pictured above) brought her secret diary. They are so different, yet so much alike. Alyssabeans has bad knees so a lot of running & sports hurt her lots.
She got bored with her diary and wanted to play, which of course didn’t last too long. While my little one & hubby were off passing the ball & we were waiting for them to try to score, my Alyssabeans was messing around with the net, being oh so cute. Of course I had to take a few pics, even if it’s just with my camera phone.
She loves taking & being in pics as much as I do. I def passed my love for photography to her. This is what I will remember from this outing, how we shared our love of photography together, laughing & being silly, enjoying our time together.
Love these photos so much I had to share. You can read the story behind it on my other blog, Living Intentionally Simple. But this is the 1st time I’ve had good Christmas tree pics. I can never get the lighting the way I want it.
A few weekends ago, our local elementary school held an ice cream social as a way to build more community within our school. Our elementary school, seems to have lost a lot of the community it once had within it and there is a bunch of us trying hard to get it back for our children. We figured an ice cream social is a way for us to come together as well as a way for children to meet & play with other children they normally wouldn’t. Plus, incoming Kindergarteners were invited, some meeting children they will be in class with in the fall.
Beside ice cream sundaes we had airplane making station which you could race them in different hoops, sack races, bubble….hula hoops….& ball station. The coolest thing was the banner station though, where we wrote welcome back and each kid & adult could add their handprints and/or a nice design to it, which will greet them in the fall. Here’s some images that highlight this fun event…..
What does your school do for community building?
