My First PTO Meeting (Monday, September 12, 2005)

Well, today was the first PTO that Michael and I attended at the Farrand Elementary School media center. It was very informative and interested. We were both surprised that there were not more parents present. It appears to be a solid core group of parents who run the Farrand PTO. It also appears that the majority of them live in the subdivision where the school is located.

One of the cool things is beginning next Summer, the school will be completely renovated due to bond money that was passed in a previous election... Fancy that! We saw the conceptaul drawings and the fabric samples. I was so excited for the kids, It really made me feel good, and I truly believe that they will be very proud to attend their school. There will also be air conditioning in all of the classrooms as well which will help make a more pleasant climate for learning!

On a side note, my cousin Steve sent this hilarious link which is so appropriate for this entry in my blog: "How to be the Perfect Asian American Parent." Ahahahaha ... "How to be a Perfect Asian Kid" was pretty good, too. They were all sooo true!

Finally, tomorrow is Yummers' picture day. We have selected two outfits and are ready! She has also finished her first homework assignment. Very cool!
