Family Journal: November 1, 2024 – Happy Halloween

Autumn is in full swing as we hit November on the calendar. Nadia, Uncle Jack, and I really had fun at our traditional Scary Night Festival at the school. Faculty set up ‘trick-or-treat” booths, dress up, and pass out candy to kids. Students and parents alike enjoy the American Halloween festivities. Seeing the delight in the kids’ faces brought us great joy. It is a great addition to the culture that the USA has given the world and citizens from everywhere love it. Nadia and I went as “RayGun and RoyGun” an homage to our beloved Aussie breakdancer, Raygun. We had fun entertaining the community with our silly break-dancing moves. Uncle Jack went as a “dog-walker” and was a great support to setting up and taking down our decorations. Nadia’s eye for interior design always elicits a lot of photography!

It was a full week at school with a board meeting on Wednesday evening and all that goes into the planning of it. I did find time to show my uncle around the school on Thursday. Our dog Obi was a hit with the kids and it made me really want to have a full-time therapy dog on campus. Dogs calm students and adults alike, bringing improved well being to all. The campus was looking beautiful with the color of the trees reaching peak hues.
