4th / 5th Grade Summer Fair...


Ashlynn anxiously awaited the day when she’d be the big kid running a booth at the school’s Summer Fair. She wasn’t initially thrilled when she heard that the theme would be Fairy Tales, but she Masha, Sara and Zoe managed to put together a cute obstacle course called the Walk in the Creepy Woods. I helped prepare lunch for the kids, then worked the strawberries & cream booth. It was fun checking on Ashlynn and seeing her direct and time the younger students through the course. It was quite hot, so Ashlynn saw an opportunity to raise some extra money by charging for a cooling blast from her water spray bottle. Overall, the event raised over €3,000 for a kindergarten in Romania--not bad considering most of the booths only charged €0.10 each.
