The "Winter Break" that coincidentally matches the Christmas and New Year's holidays will begin as classes end on Friday. For many, it's already begun and absences due to that aspect of the season have increased.
Today is the last Professional Development Day for 2008- Parents: Your child will be out much sooner today.
The Lincoln Heights Christmas Parade on Sunday gave the school groups a place for them to perform for a wider group of people than before, and they made the most of it. While I did not see any programs available to actually pin down which entry was which, most had signs or banners.
The event was very well attended and the parade, if anything, was a little on the long side. The announcer for the parade was not Mr. Shapiro, and, again, that difference could be from old news; it might have been an old "cut-and-paste" promotion from another edition of the parade that was recycled too fast for accuracy. I am just guessing.
The announcer kept the crowd entertained, which is something useful, and this is where I found out that there was going to be "live snow" at the assembly area behind the BofA after the parade. I didn't look for that myself, since live snow should not be kept in captivity from my point of view. It's just to cruel for something that belongs in the wild.
Well, a tough week for students to stay focused on studying, but Friday will be here before you know it.
