We had the funnest, most creative Enrichment last night, and I thought I'd share the pictures that we all received this morning from our R.S. Secretary, most of all for any of you who need or will need in the future a really creative idea for Enrichment. We had a "Back to School" night, and got to relive our past by having a cafeteria-style meal of Sloppy Joes, carrot and celery sticks, applesauce, cookies in individual paper sleeves, and even a carton of milk! The rest of the evening included a spelling bee, oral reports from various "students," in which sisters shared memories of a favorite teacher, what school was like in a different country where they grew up, etc. We even played "Heads Up Seven Up" and had a pop quiz from our "student teacher." It was too cute, but the pictures really show off all the hard work and creativity that went into it. A great and fun reminder of President Hinckley's challenge to "Be Smart" and to keep learning throughout your life! Way to go, ladies! You are seriously so creative!

Our Salem "5th Grade/5th Ward" class picture! I'm not in it (sad!) 'cause I had to leave early. I have to give credit to the evening's photographer/our R.S. Secretary, Laura, for these pictures and collages! Wish I were this good at photography!

Some samples of our yummy school lunch and Deb, our Enrichment Counselor/P.E. teacher. Too cute!

Here's Martha (our bishop's wife and another of the counselors in the R.S. Presidency that I serve with), our trouble-maker in the corner with her dunce cap and all, as well as the cafeteria line and Pippa (and baby) getting her tardy slip from the student teacher for coming in late! Over the course of the evening, Martha almost got sent to the principal's office (aka the bishop's/her husband's office!), I got in trouble for passing notes, and our R.S. President almost started up a food fight. Way too funny!

More of the creative touches that made the night so fun. Don't you LOVE the lunch ladies, especially their hair nets?! In the middle is Ruth, our R.S. President.

That's a way cute idea. I'll have to pass it along! I hope that all is well!
Seeing those pictures make me miss the 5th ward. Such good people and so comfortable. I'm glad the night was a success.
That is SO cute - both Ali & I agree. Thanks for telling us you left early. We thought you were the gal at the end of the 2nd row with the peace signs. Thought you were being a little silly, just like the old days. :) Love ya sis!
