Sunday (10/19) Samantha had her school dedication. This school was built in our neighborhood this past year.
The dedication started with some of the school staff and the principal coming out of an igloo with Huskies. The kids were thrilled.
The dedication was for Ms. Bonnie Holland. She has offered many years to the dedication of children and their education, working with the superintendent and school board staff. The dedication was to honor the naming of her school and guest speakers who spoke on her behalf as a devoted employee, mother, and grandmother. Some of the children of the school presented her with gifts and the school choir sang several songs.
The school mascot is a Husky. The school raised pennies and other coins to present to Husky Haven, a rescue organization for Huskies. I think the kids found the presentation of the check to Husky Haven most memoriable at this dedication because they brought along dogs. I found it was a rewarding experience for the children to see that they can really make a difference in a community by their good deeds and efforts.
It ended with the children taking the parents on a tour to see their artwork in the school's hallways and a reception of goodies. The Husky cake was awesome! I just had to take a picture.
