The city and school worked together for the past several years to raise enough money to build a pedestrian bridge across Ted Williams Pkwy (a very busy road that kids have to cross when walking to school). They had a "walk to bridge" day where they had free coffee/hot chocolate, cookies, and doughnuts for everyone that walked to school. It was really great to finally be able to use the path and check out the great view from high up. Afton had a good time running up and down the walkway and peering over the edge.
Once we got to school, they had Friday Flag Day. The whole school gets together at the flagpole at the front school and they sing (One of the times Afton sang with all the other kindergarten classes a song called "Stop and Think."), announce birthdays, and give reminders about events coming up. It's awesome watching the kids recite the school moto (Work Hard, Be Kind), say the pledge, and giggle when the teacher join them singing the school song (to the tune of YMCA). It's especially fun for me to see Afton so happy with his fellow students.
We love Shoal Creek Elementary!
