yesterday, was our annual professional development day which is sponsored by henb, our provenience's home school support group. for the first time. ever. it was held in moncton. my 2 amazing friends, loana and aralee and i put this shin dig on. it was a big success. ok, we rocked it out of the ball park. all the planning, stress and head ache was worth it but ill never do another one again. so come take a peek in what we did....and we did everything from registration, meals, snacks, organize all the speakers, work shops, gift bags, sponsors, door prizes, music, set up, serve, clean, tear down....our selves! we did have a fab team of 4 teens who helped us with the set up on thurs and serving, clean up yesterday. i came home utterly exhausted. ive never felt that tired and drained in my life!!!
so heres a peek at our pd day (or as like to refer to it as pain in my derriere day)
our take home bags, stuffed with lip balms, candy, chocolate, paper, pen, chalk boards, kleenex, apple butter (yum!) bath salts, gum and more....
welcome table, compete with folders (hours of time to make those puppies!)
decore
table set up #1. we had a simple welcome table, the ladies arrived from 9-10 to register, grab a snack from the breakfast table, sit and relax
more decore
over flowing breakfast foods
2 of our helpers, megan and veronica
more decore
work shop # 1 pastor peter who spoke on personality styles, and how to teach your child. it was awesome!!!
work shop #2 healthy, quick snacks by mrs virginia
then they headed back to the main area for another work shop by stephanie jackson, while we tore down the tables and re set them back up for lunch
lunch was 2 choices, chili and veritable taco soup, all made from scratch by aralee and loana. we had salads, rolls and home made corn bread as well. all ladies were served lunch in 10 mins. SCORE! loana ROCKED the kitchen. she is one work machine!
after lunch the ladies headed over for another work shop, while we tore down lunch, cleaned up, washed dishes and set everything back up for dessert
voila....yummie!!!!
the ladies then headed back over for another work shop while we tore down and started to clean up
more take home gifts. a craft and bath salts.
there was a few snags but nothing major. we decided to scrap our activity/craft because we were running behind (the speakers went, well, way over their times) but we got back on track!
i got home and literally fell on the couch. i was SO tired
id say the day was a success!
