Fuller Fun

Other than a bit of late morning rain, yesterday was a terrific day for the families of students who attend Fuller Elementary.  Though the students started classes on Aug. 13th, the 'Back to School' party was held yesterday, Sunday, Aug. 19th.

It was a marvelous affair on all fronts!!!  The outdoor area behind the school was packed.  Kids were all over the place and, boy, did they have a great time.

Some 200 people attended the party.   Everywhere one looked, everyone was having a blast.  There were lots of games; rice race, bean bag toss, free throw shooting ( a big line here!) a ping pong ball toss, face painting, jump rope, and more.  Prizes were awarded to those who earned enough coupons and great food was provided to the children and their families.

It was wonderful time for me as I got to chat with the principal, meet a few graduates of Fuller and talk to a few parents.  One parent, in particular, was so very grateful that we brought supplies to Fuller and her three grandaughters.  When she asked why our charity was working with Fuller my response was simply that our donors and volunteers knew how very thankful her family was for our work.

In a nutshell, that is what makes our working so motivating...the mere fact that people are so geniunely appreciative of all that we do to assist their kids.
