Off to the Races: 2019 Covenant Derby Auction

After many many hours of hard work, the auction finally arrived.  It was a huge success.  We ended up making 35-40% more than the year before. 

Setting up the day of the event.

The kids' Valentines parties were going on at the same time, so I jumped back and forth between the classrooms.  Mommy and Caden pic.

Ballet Parent Observation & Hoopla!

Annabelle's ballet class this year is in a back studio with no windows for parents to see.  So it was fun being able to visit class and see what they've been working on.  Starting class with stretches.

 

At the barre for plies.

The third grade hosted their mothers for Poems and Tea.  Caden's class reciting.

The kids each wrote a list for their mom, "Ten Things I Love About You, Mom: 1) You're always giving me food. 2) I love the knights you gave me. 3) You're kind for letting me watch TV during the week. 4) I love that you let us have a pool. 5) I love that you let me have a nice bed. 6) I love that you allow me to play sports. 7) You always play with me. 8) You're so kind for letting me go to Covenant. 9) I think you're a great cook. 10) I think you're the best mom.  Love, Caden" 

 

The kids love attending Hoopla each year.  This year it was pretty cold, but the kids still had fun!  Ananbelle, Ann Elise Goebel, Laura Darley, and Khloe Jensen.
