Spirit Week 2011

This week at Ben's school was SPIRIT WEEK! It was AMAZING to be a part of and see what these kids accomplished!
The main goal of Spirit Week is to collect food for the John 3:16 Mission in Tulsa. Ben's school is one of the largest contributors to this mission.
About 200 students from grade K4 thru 6th collected over 17,000 pounds of food for John 3:16!!! The kids (and parents) had a BLAST while doing it :)
Everyday was a different dress theme. There was a fun chapel every afternoon where the kids sat with their team and cheered, dance, and sang! Each team was lead by a couple of 6th grade students and they had a few kids from each grade on their team. It was wonderful to see how the older kids interact with the younger kids! They truly enjoy it!!!
Here is a few pictures from the week. Ben told mw he can't wait until next years Spirit Week :)

How we do "cowboy day"! boots, Dale Jr tshirt, and a jean workshirt :)

He got 3rd Place for his grade!

Every year there is a different "character" that comes in to chapel and lets the kids know how much food they brought that day and which teams were winning. This year was "R.E. Sponsibility"!!! He was a riot and the kids LOVED it!!! Here is some pictures of him through the week!

Wednesday they had the smoke machines on and he came out with a gas mask on!

Thursday he crawled in on the floor-this picture cracks me up!!!



Then Friday's GRAND FINALE! He busted through the vent and then climbed down the wall!!! It was so funny!!!! The kids went crazzzzy!
