Photo of the Day May 3rd

I felt like super-woman today... leaping tall buildings in a single bound. After all the hard work of putting together the newsletter this past weekend I treated myself to a lovely breakfast out with my friend Cheryl, which simply sped by in a rush of conversation and excellent omelettes. After heading home I started working on a small organizational job that's been bugging me for a while - my pantry is home to far too many bags of things from the bulk store that just sit there in their little plastic bags spilling out of the door whenever I open it. I decided to decorate up some of the coffee tins I've been saving so I can use them for helpful, stacking, and quite attractive storage (above). I think they look great, and will make it so much easier for me to find things when I'm looking for them! Tomorrow I plan to tackle the rest of the pantry, but for the rest of today I helped host a planning meeting for the next issue of the newsletter, and shortly after I arrived home I got a call from a representative of the Thames Valley Parent Involvement Council, letting me know that my application to join the organization as a Parent Representative had been accepted. I'm excited to get to know more about not only the Thames Valley District School Board but it's parent engagement focuses, and I think that the more I know and learn in these areas the better I can help serve our school community. In a further effort in that direction, I spent this evening with my School Council Co-Chair at a TVDSB meeting outlining changes to several grant policies as well as the new Food and Beverage policy that will take effect in about a year. There are some big (and very positive) changes afoot in terms of what you can and cannot sell on school property - and although I think Tecumseh is already at the forefront of making healthy choices on our student's behalf, I can still see challenges coming. But what do I actually want to see coming? My pillow at this point - I'm exhausted from all that leaping of tall buildings (or, at least attending of meetings and organizing of pantries!)
