Bash & Dash

Zoe's PTO at school decided to have a huge fundraiser this year by having the Bash & Dash.  Each student had to get sponsors to see agree to pay money per lap they completed or just get a flat fee donation.  The goal was to raise $20,000.00 and they ended up raising around $22,000.00.  Do you know how huge that is for the school?  The money will go to buy technology for each teacher in the classroom and they totally deserve it.  Don't get me started on how I feel about the government and how they always look to cut funding for schools first.  It drives me insane!  If you have a great community with great schools, it will bring better jobs, people will buy houses in your district, etc.  Teachers are completely underpaid for what they do and we should be putting our money in our "future" rather than always looking to cut it.  I can think of many other ways where the government wastes money and it's not in the schools.  Okay, I digressed there a bit and will get off my soapbox right now.  

On another note, I was so glad Zoe's Daddy got to go to the Bash & Dash and spend the day with her.  She was beyond excited over it!  Here are a few pictures he got before the camera battery ran out.....










Thanks to Shannon to taking some pictures for me when Daddy's
camera battery ran out!
