The party started at 8:15....amidst squeals of delight, the girls scurried from classroom to classroom delivering their Valentines laden with lollipops, chocolate kisses, and various heart-shaped candies. Creativity at its best...Valentines pouring from boxes decorated with Winston Churchill's words , or as an iPod, or with the top hits of the Fifties or as a Victory Garden...such flair. Beautiful pink, white and green cupcakes, fruit cups, and flowers galore...what more could a Fourthie want or for that matter, a Fourthie teacher? I know...a Fourthie mom devoted to health, fun, and the garden...one Russell Combs, equipped with juicer, apples, carrots, and kale....how green is that, how hip is that?
The girls were fascinated, and most of them tried some of the delicious, healthy juice. Then, Russell, no stranger to our school garden, and all of us, trooped over there on this beautiful Valentine's Day to deposit the pulp in the compost... more learning, more climbing on bales of hay, much sunshine, and much laughing could be seen on Grove Avenue....just another day in the life of a St. Catherine's Fourthie.
