Party Time!

thank-you-clothesline-752x483We had our Because of Winn-Dixie party this afternoon in our classroom! We had such a wonderful time enjoying the movie, snacks from the book (thank you parents) and our amazing guests (yes, I’m talking about you, parents). 🙂 Thank you to those of you who could make it. I know it’s extremely tough and some times impossible to get away from work at that hour. Thank you to everyone for donating our food items as well! We really enjoyed dining on Otis’ pickles, Gloria Dump’s egg sandwiches and Miss Franny’s Litmus Lozenges. Then, we had a few extra treats like tuna, corned beef and cheese sandwiches, plus chips and drink. Yummy! In fact, everything was so delicious that we didn’t have ANY leftovers!!!

Thanks again!
