The Montessori Art Show is also a fundraiser for the school. Every year some of the "hot ticket" items are themed baskets sponsored by each classroom. They are raffled off at the end of the evening. Those of you who know Josie , know she is all about winning! And each year I have to give the pep talk that there is to be no crying if we don't win. Since there are hundreds of tickets for each basket- the odds are certainly against winning. As you can see from the photo...no tears this year. Josie won the "Summer Fun" basket!!! Believe it or not, after 2 days we still haven't opened it yet, I think Josie just likes looking at it all put together, but there are plenty of goodies from water bombs, to sidewalk chalk, masks, fins, goggles, dive sticks, balls, towels ...you get it!!! A great win for a family with a pool! So, if you are looking for some "Summer Fun", you know where to find it!
A few months ago, Josie signed a contract with her teacher Mr. Fiorito that if she got a "5" on her FCAT's she pie him in the face ( not to mention be teacher for the day, uniform pass & get big classroom $$$$ for their final auction). Phase I of pieing took place today after school...she gets to pie him again next week for her 2nd "5". All I can say is Mr.Fiorito is a good sport. His glasses got knocked off by the 1st pie in his face- I think through the years he has learned how to make the most of it (see picture with kleenex ears). Again- way to go Jo & thank you mr. Fiorito for making it fun for the kids.
