Happy half birthday, potater!

The kids school does morning prayer every single morning at the start of the school day. The entire school, grades K-8 (3 or 4 classes of each grade), meet in the courtyard to start the day off with some reflection, some prayer, celebrate special accomplishments, sports announcements, and birthdays! Of course, there are some kids, like Kate, who have those pesky summer birthdays, so they get to celebrate their half birthday! They even get to dress out that day, and they get to bring in snack for their class. We always bring in some delicious Daylight Donuts since they're peanut product-free, and it's owned by a family from our school!

The only downside was that it was raining on Kate's half birthday, so they had morning prayer inside over the loud speaker. We still got to hang out in the office to see Kate get called up and get her pencil :)

Kate was so excited!
