Memorial Day Weekend
It has been rainy and cool this past week - but we did have a glimmer of sun and a break from the rain for a few hours - enough to take a picnic to Minnehaha Falls. I joined the Jerome/Olesens for a lunchtime trek up and down the falls. I really think Alice enjoyed the whole picnic thing. She was kind of like a Princess - with yummy foods strewn about - and she just sat in the middle of the blanket choosing what to eat next. 
Cultural Week at JMS
This was our 3rd year of celebrating the many Jackson cultures - with the Wednesday night dinner as the highlight. Kids (& parents) prepare foods from all over the world and many people dress up. It's our little version of a "Festival of Nations" - and this year we ended the evening with a fashion show. It's a lot of work by my whole department - but looking at these pics - you know it's worthwhile!
Karly and her friend helped out by selling buttons.
Alice Mae tried a lot of things!
One of my 8th graders served up my pierogis!
My favorite dress of the night!
