A Media Frenzy

There are some famous faces living in our house this month. Miles was recently featured in the newspaper while he and his classmates worked on their new Smart Table. Each of the Kindergarten classes have one, and every class in the school now has iPads for the kids to work with. Miles loves when he gets iPad for his center activity! He just wishes they'd let him play Angry Birds on it. He is with friends Eli, Skylar and Ella Grace.

September 21st is International Day of Peace, as recognized by the UN in 1981. A few years ago, some art teachers in Florida came up with the idea of Pinwheels for Peace as a "visual public statement about peace." Sacred Heart participated this year with each student making pinwheels and celebrating with a special photo and assembly yesterday. Miles's class buddies from the 3rd grade helped them make their pinwheels, which are the green ones in the "E" below. Even the 3, 4, and 5yr PreK classes were involved, so Audrey got to be in the picture too. 

The WATE news team and the News Sentinel were on hand to document the event. It is supposed to be in the neighborhood section of the paper next week. In the 5 o'clock news story, Audrey had a few moments of fame when her face filled the screen! I can't find the video online yet, but here's a picture of the screen.She's next to her friends Duncan, Nadalie and Jillian.

And the kids won't let me finish this post without sharing my own brush with fame. I usually go to Zumba classes at the Y up the street, but a friend opened a new dance studio and invited me to a class there.  Little did I know I would end up on the local afternoon news-magazine.
