Lifes Like That

My kid’s school is so amazing!  I know I have posted many times about how awesome the school is and the teacher’s are, but I really had to tell you all about what they have been up to lately.  For the past couple of days they have been holding a special activity for the children.  They have called this event “Santa’s Workshop”.  Over the past couple of days each class has had the opportunity to go to the school’s library and purchase small gifts for their parents, grandparents or siblings.  All these gifts are less than $3.00 so each child has the opportunity to participate.

My son who is in grade 2 went to the workshop yesterday and came home with a gift for his sister and me.  His father didn’t want anything.  He told both kids to spend the money on someone else and just make him something.  Today is my daughter’s turn.  She plans on buying a gift for her brother and her grandfather.  I think this is just a great idea as it gets the kids all excited about buying gifts for their family.  I know my kids are really enjoying this workshop and I really hope that the school continues this tradition in the future.
