What a beautiful, sunny spring day it turned out to be for my school's biannual fundraiser. This year it was a walk-a-thon. Yes, times are economically difficult, but we did have a nice gathering at the Brisbane Marina. Got there about 10:20 AM, walked the course, which I believe was a mile or so; walked it a few times with other teachers and the kids and those parents who brought their canines. Hot dogs and chips were the yummy edibles du jour. Entertainment included karaoke. Needless to say, yours truly got ethnic with a rendition of "La Bamba" and later a tribute to our fair city with its unofficial anthem, "I Left My Heart In San Francisco." (Which has become part of the repertoire; perchance a cabaret show is in the future?) Lots of pics with the kids, alumni, teachers and a seagull or two. Won't know if the event was a major success, but from the smiles and laughs of the little kids, it was a success.
