Assembly; it's my favourite time of the week. A time for kids to shine, to get recognition from the rest of the school for a job well done, to have some fun, and to enjoy the learning of another class. Many people refer to Assembly as Parade - I never do. The term 'Parade' brings back memories of my first primary school in Australia where we had to march in time into a hot quadrangle and stand with our hands behind our backs for what seemed an eternity. If you were lucky, you escaped the sting of the cane on the back of your bare legs while Parade dragged on.
Today's Assembly was extra special. The whole school community turned out to support a little boy to cut his hair very very short in order to raise money for Shave for a Cure, the Leukemia Foundation's signature fundraiser.
From this....
To this....
942 (or round about) kids cheering and supporting him.
Call it Parade if you like. To me, it will always be Assembly
