Birthday Surprise

Mr. D's 50th bday is tomorrow.  The 3rd and 4th grade parents planned a bunch of surprises for him today so he wouldn't suspect.  First, everyone in school wore all black today.  Only two kids forgot!  I thought for sure he would figure it out before school, but he didn't.  He didn't even figure it out in chapel when we were all together.  But once we gathered in Mr. E's room for Christmas program practice (after chapel), THEN he figured out something was up.  After the fact, he said he thought something was suspicious when all four volunteers that went up during Pastor's message were wearing black, but he chalked it up to a coincidence. But after seeing the sea of black accumulated in Mr. E's room... The funny thing is, he said he almost wore his black shirt to school today!  Wouldn't that have been funny?

We sang Happy Birthday, of course, and the 3rd and 4th grade parents got cupcakes for the whole school.  Tonight, some of the older girls are decorating his classroom with black decorations (and putting a few presents from the parents in there as well).  I bet he'll be surprised!

The Christmas program is coming together... Mrs. E and I got the seating chart figured out (I think) and the bulletin covers have been selected.  Well, there are seven choices.  The church secretary will have to narrow it down from there.  Each year, students get to draw a possible bulletin cover, and the best ones are used as the covers for the Christmas program bulletins.  I've helped the secretary print them in the past, and it's actually a lot more work than you'd think.  I don't imagine she'll want to print seven varieties... but we'll see what she says!
