A couple weeks ago, H's 5th grade had a field trip to the Pettit Center. His advisor teacher has two children who are ice-skaters, and were going to be part of a show called "Skate with Heart" to raise money for the Herma Heart Center at Children's Memorial Hospital. She decided to make it a fundraiser -- the kids could either collect a lump sum, or raise money for each lap they did. Together, they raised nearly $2,200. Last night after the ice skating show, some of the kids skated onto the ice the present a "check" to the Herma Heart Center. (H is in the green jacket.) It was adorable. And fortunately, none of them fell.
