End of the Year Party...

Friday was our last day of school and on Friday evening, the staff headed to a banquet center for our end of the year party! Gil was not super happy that our work party fell on the same night as the last Wings game, but he was a trooper. Luckily, there were a couple of TVs brought in for the game, so he got to watch the Wings lose. :) It was "Vegas Night", so there were black jack tables and other Vegas-y games set up. We played to win chips and at the end of the night, you could turn in your chips for raffle tickets. Then everyone put their tickets into raffle boxes for different prizes. I NEVER win anything, so I was pleasantly surprised to win an outdoor wireless iPod speaker. Perfect for our new backyard! I also won money through the teacher incentive program for 3rd place in our building. A good night, overall! Of course, they had karaoke set up...so we had to listen to some pretty bad singing. The second grade team decided it would be a great idea to sing, so I was dragged along as a "backup singer". It was a fun night after a year of hard work!
