Day 114
Every January, the Montgomery
Elementary PTO hosts Carnival.
It’s a night filled with games, raffles, cookies and cake. It’s a collaborative effort between
parents, teachers and local businesses that raises approximately $20,000 that
the PTO uses to purchase items for the school such as smart boards, lap top computers
and playground equipment.
Even though I lecture friends
on needing “Volunteer Intervention” when the committee found themselves one
lead volunteer short I found my hand in the air.
A popular game at carnival and
the one I’m organizing is the Kindergarten Cake Walk. Think musical chairs with cake as a prize. I’ve been soliciting cash donations to
purchase cakes, begging people to bake and bring cakes and arm-twisting
volunteers to help the night of the event. The game only lasts as long as the cakes do.
Tonight, we meet at the school and
our Carnival chair walks us through a “dry run” before Friday’s big
event.
I’m confident the night will
be a huge success, even if we run out of cake.
