An opportunity of a Lifetime in Our Nations Capitol

During this season of many blessings my Christmas gift came early this year.  I (along with 90+ or so others) was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to help decorate the White House for the holidays.  It was a once in a lifetime event that I will never forget.

I spent two days in the company of very talented, nationally recognized artisans, designers and florists.  It was a learning experience for me to see how such an extensive undertaking is carried out.  Each room was assigned a group of workers, my group was assigned to the Grand Foyer and State hallway. If you happen to see a picture of two large trees flanking either side of the Blue room, I worked on the tree to the right.  We used hand-blown glass balls adorned with red bows, gold leaves, enormous gold painted pine-cones and beautiful red glass berries.   I also had a hand in the garlands that drape around the entrance of the door that faces Pennsylvania Avenue.  My final task was to hand-stitch felt on pine garland that was wrapped on torchieres that are at each rooms entrance in the hallway and on either side of the two fireplaces in the foyer. 

All in all my experience was an awesome one.  It was something I will never forget and am thrilled I'm able to share it with you and your children.  I wish everyone a blessed Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.  I am truly thankful for being able to spend time with your children every week!

Our Lady of Lourdes has been notified by the Archdiocese School Office that Lourdes will receive approximately $3800.00 worth of technology from Title ll D and Technology Stimulus Funds 2009.  The teachers and I have decided to order 2 SMART Response Systems which can be used by all grades to enhance student learning.  These Systems are used to review for tests, to give teachers an idea how many students have understood a new concept, to show in graph format how a whole class did on a test, to take a survey on different issues, etc.
