A vacation of the month would be great as long as I didn't have to fly. Maybe a dinner or tickets to the musicals or something would be good too with a chauffer included.

Patsy, fundraisers are hard. Some of them are such a joke. Does Shayla have to do something or is she just asking for money? The band Carol is in is hosting a car wash this Saturday. Their goal is to wash 250 cars and are taking pledges on the number of cars they wash, so a person can pledge a certain amount of money per car.

With Carol being in band and drill this year, we are having to be very careful not to hit the same people up too many times for fundraisers. In fact, I keep very good records on the neighborhoods that she goes to and for what. Her current drill team fundraiser is to sell eight posters of the drill team. We are going to end up buying out on this one because who wants that poster?

She is just asking for money which will be donated to her school, and then they will be having a Turkey Trot where whey walk or run laps around the field.
I would have a hard time with selling the posters as well. How much are they selling those for?

If you were to change your screen name, what would you change it to?

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I don't think I would. I kinda like it just the way it is.

 

[Kirby]

Patsy, they are selling them for $10. Her boss is buying one to display at Bahama Bucks to show his support for the drill team. That is real big around here. So Shayla is taking pledges, that's not too bad. I'd hit up family members first.

If I could change my screen name, I would probably change it to Susan. But Kirby is fine, it's easy.

I wanted to get more input on this situation happening with Shayla at school.

A classmate is scratching her, and today was the second time. I asked my daughter if she had done something to the child, and she said no, and that he just did that. I have seen this child before, and spoke to him once when I brought in cupcakes for my daughter's birthday, and he is the one that the teacher has to always keep an eye on.
I wrote a letter to my daughter's teacher to ask her about what happened, and even asked if maybe my daughter might have caused something for him to be that way-just so it doesn't sound as if I am blaming that child.
What should I do?
My daughter is the type of child that is on the quiet side, and would not act back. But, she does tell the teacher, and once she was going to get in trouble, until she told the teacher what was actually happening.

 

[chibichibirei]

Oh no! I'm sorry your daughter is being bullied. I guess my advice would be to keep on top of it and keep in contact with the teacher/school guidance councilor. I was bullied through out elementary school, it was not a good time . I really hope that if the teachers on the ball this can be solved!

 

[mickeyfan2]

No advise but a big hug for Shayla.

 

[mommytotwo]

Thank you ladies.
There is a sub. today, so we will see what happens. They are then off for one week, and if it happens again today, I will have a talk with the teacher.

Tonight DH and I will be going to the first Halloween Horror Night (at Universal) for this year.
Suppose to rain. Hopefully it won't be a gully washer!
We did want to go to a MNSSHP this year. But they just have so few on a weekend night. And just did not work for us.
We saw the street decor at MK a few weekends ago and it really is VERY nice. Made us want to attend a MNSSHP. Alas just will not work out.

As a side note: I was with a group who was treated to see the new Disney movie "The Game Plan". Very cute family movie.
The only preview shown was for an upcoming movie called "Enchanted". That movie is going to be a MUST SEE.

Patsy ~ about the issue with your daughter being scratched/picked on: definitely inform the classroom teacher that it is unacceptable for your child to be sitting near the boy "who has to be watched". The teacher can easily move him to a desk by himself if he can't keep his hands to himself. If the behavior continues or escalates, let the administration know how you feel. We have a bullying committee in our school that tackles these types of issues because unfortunately, these issues come up frequently. You need to address it though and not chalk things up to kids being kids. Teachers here are limited in what can be done about behavior issues in their rooms until many interventions have taken place. If no one complains about the bully, the ball can't start rolling.

Now, on to your QOTD. I've missed answering them!

Or, thinking along another line, a robber!

Have ya'll seen the new YC catalog? I received one in the mail yesterday and I think that I'm really going to like the Red Apple Wreath scent! I couldn't believe the catalog. They had so many candles to scratch and sniff this time.
