Allie's school

I love Allie's school - I couldn't be more happy that she got into the school that I wanted her to get into. . . and we don't have to pay tuition!  It's a great school, they encourage family involvement and have tons of extracurricular programs.

On Friday we went and had breakfast with her in the cafeteria - $2.75 gets you a slice of french toast, eggs, tator tots, spam, rice (You get to choose three) - they rotate between different foods everyday but most of it is kinda "meh" - I'm not a fan of corned beef hash or portuguese sausage. . .or Spam at 7:00 am for that matter. Allie happily got Spam for breakfast and ate it all up!  Breakfast also includes the "all you can eat" fruit bar which usually has papaya, oranges, bananas, fruit salad with honeydew and cantalope, etc AND coffee (for the parents!).  After school starts on Friday mornings they have a school assembly in the courtyard. . . we decided to hang around and check it out.

It's really kind of nice. . . all the kids come stand around the sides of the courtyard and then the Hawaiiana teacher comes out and does a chant which the students must learn in her class because the older students were able to respond. The prinicipal came out and made some various announcements.  The music teacher then came out and sang a song with the kids. . .it was pretty cute.  The little kids were having a hard time sitting through it but the big kids seemed to enjoy it.

I had been at the school a dozen times already but didn't really notice until last week how beautiful the view was.  How many kids can say their elementary school has an ocean view?
