Memorial Day
The following essay by SKGP earned her a second place award and a $50 $75 savings bond:
What does Memorial Day mean to you? Memorial Day is an important day to me for many reasons.
Memorial Day is an important holiday to me. To me it means a special day when we celebrate people who sacrificed their lives to protect us. It is a time to love and be thankful for what we have. I think it is a time to show respect, courtesy, and honor to everyone. I am very thankful for all of the soldiers and everything they have done for us. Memorial Day is a day when you celebrate and remember the soldiers who have fought and died to save our country. I hope that lots of people honor all soldiers who are alive today. Memorial Day reminds me of the flag of the USA because it makes me remember what it was like before we were a free county, and I'm glad we are now. I am so glad many soldiers have gone into the Navy, Army, and the Airforce to help all of the people who live in countries where conflicts are going on. I wish that more people were thankful for people who sacrifice their lives for us. I would like to do something to help when I am old enough to show that I really do care. This is a time to be a respectful and a courteous person.
As you can see Memorial day is important to me for many reasons. I hope that lots more people appreciate how brave all of the soldiers are who have risked their lives for us.

Parents are our first and most important teachers. Describe a time when you learned a valuable lesson from one of your parents or another relative who is important to you.
Have you ever learned a lesson from a important person who is relatied to you? Some people learned writing, reading, or sience. I learned how to do math. When I was four my dad taught me how to do math. When I asked what math was he said, "Math is when you use numbers to find the total." When he printed out math problums on a piece of papper the printer went "ch. ch. ch." The first kind of math he taught me was adition. It was hard at first, but as I did more and more I got alot better. Now math is my favorite and best subject. As you can see your parents teach yo important things. Now you know about what my dad taught me.

Papa Murphy / Rucker Fundraiser
This Thursday (3/26), Papa Murphy's Take-N-Bake Pizza, located near Nob Hill on 1st Street, is hosting a fundraiser for Rucker Elementary School (which is Sloane's school).
IF YOU MENTION RUCKER, the Rucker Parent Club will get a portion of your purchase price.
The Rucker Parent Club recently had to make dramatic budget cuts, so now the teachers are getting less money (down 40%!) to help out with classroom expenses. Now, your oven can make a difference!
If you've never had a Papa Murphy's, try it. They make the pizza while you wait, then you take it home and bake it. The menu is available at http://www.papamurphys.com/public/menu_papasPizzas.cfm , or just go in and order the kind of pizza you like.
Please pass this on to any other Gilroyans who like to eat pizza and help out kids.

Pierced Ears
Last night was the first (annual?) Las Animas Parent Club Auction. The event was at the Eagle Ridge Clubhouse, and featured both a silent and a live auction. I won a bunch of stuff. We left the kids with my parents, and went to the event with several neighbors and friends. I think a good time was had by all.
This morning, we went and picked up the kids, and went to a make up gymnastics practice for SKGP. After that, we had lunch at Black Bear Diner.
Then we took S to the outlet mall and got her ears pierced. She was very brave and professional about it all. You can watch the video of the event. For the healing period, she has cute faux diamond studs.
After that, we went to the hospital to check on Mom, who was having trouble getting enough air. She had some tests done, and she is doing fine and is probably home right now. The best guess is something cardiac, so next week, she will be getting some more checks.
Now, S and I are going to the Girlscouts' Annual Father - Daughter Dance.
