Kindergarten Sweetheart Supper

Saturday was Armin's Kindergarten Supper, a fundraiser held each year to raise money to keep our private kindergarten private!  We need funds to pay our teacher and classroom assistant, and to buy supplies for the kids.  Not a lot of expenses but enough that we still need to fundraise.

The theme for the evening is usually a Sweetheart theme because it is held near Valentine's Day.  All the parents help in some capacity, decorating, food prep, buying items for the auction and going to local businesses to get donations for the night!  We were supported really well by our community and had lots of items for the auction and the bucket draws.  We even had lots of items for door prizes as well.  I was able to go and get items for the auction with cash donations we were given and I had lots of fun doing that!

Armin was beyond excited for this night, he got all dressed up in a shirt and tie and looked so handsome! His class is quite small this year, only 5 little kids and one of those 5 is away in Mexico for the winter, so 4 of them performed at the fundraiser and did an awesome job!  They have been learning a lot about polar bears these past few months so they chanted a poem about polar bears.  Each kid had a part to say on their own.  They also did a song that is quite popular:

"Hey Armin?"
"Hey What?"
"Are you ready?"
"For what?"
"To Pop!"
"Pop what?"
"Pop c co!"
"My hands are high, my feet are low and this is how I pop c co!"

And then they do some action, Armin chose to snap his fingers while jumping up and down!  The talent that kid has!  And for the four of them they were so loud, they didn't even need to use a mic!

We were able to raise a good chunk of money despite the low numbers we had out to the dinner.  It was a great night, with fun had by everyone there!
