A colorful day!

Yesterday was a day full of color...Green and Brown!  Tim Green ( SU and Atlanta Falcons football star turned writer) visited Millard Fillmore Elementary School.  He has just published his 30th book and this one was full of local flair.... One of the coaches in the books is the Dad of Corey Wasileski (reading teacher at MFES) and one of the coaches is "Coach Buzz Hewitt!"  Corey and I entered our dads in one of Tim's Facebook contests and we WON!   I invited Tim to speak at the elementary school and he graciously accepted.  Grades 3-6 were treated to a presentation by Tim all about the virtues of character, kindness and READING.  Tim took questions from the kids and stayed on to enjoy lunch with the contest winners from each 3-6 classroom...and Bailee and Abram... They were the ambassadors and greeters as their Grandpas were featured characters in the book.  Tim also donated hardcover copies of this book, First Team, to every student in grades 3-6....generous beyond words!!!
We're pretty excited about Grandpa Hewitt living on in Tim's book.  I'm assuming that my family and friends know what they're getting for Christmas ;-)


Yep, she was excited.....and he forgave her for saying her favorite football team was the Miami Dolphins;-)
