Limousines!

Yesterday and today I began to "make good" on my promise to my top fun run pledge earners. Back in early October we held our fun run, and I promised all the students who raised $200 or more that I would get a limo and take them to Applebee's for lunch. Well, we have 34 students who made that goal! I called around and found Stagecoach Liousine in Murphy's seems to be the only local(ish) limo company. They were eager to work with us, and gave us some nice discounts (hence the plug on this blog!). Anyway, we've scheduled 4 days of limo lunches to accommodate all the students. On Monday of this week, I had the first graders from Mrs. Berry's class and the fourth graders from Mr. Calbert's class. Today were Mrs. Stapp's second graders, and Mrs. Ransom's third grade. Next week I'll move up to the middle school, and we'll have a couple of days to complete all the lunches earned there. The trips have been going great, with the students all really enjoying the trip, and they've been getting a lot of attention at Applebee's (who also gave us a nice discount, as well. Plug, plug!) As a matter of fact, I believe tomorrow's paper will have a nice picture of our students outside the limo at Applebee's!
