Field Days are coming up the week after Spring Break, and I know

the entire school is looking forurard to the community and class spirit of these days. These fun-in-the-sun activity days will take place during the morning hours and wrap up by 11:30 each ciay, Classes will resume their normal schedules for lunch and the afternoon. lf your schedule allows, please consider joining us for
this fun filled morning of outdoor activity. Last week we had the opportunity to experience a bad weather drill for real. As with any of our safety drills, we practice so that we can prepare for anything that might occur during a real emergency event. Although this was not a practice, the staff and students did a great job! Thankfully there was no haimful weather to deal with; everyone jumped right in, helping and assisting with the delivery of Iunches in the safety of our classrooms, and students were patient and cooperative in this unusual circumstance. Thank you to staff

Being a Volunteer

By Erma Bombeck
I was a "thousbnd points of Iight" Iong before volunieerism lighted up the sky and had an offlcial name. I had my lights short-circuiied, burned at boih ends and occasionally punched out. I hang

A Noble Profession

in there because generally volunteerism is a dazzling galaxy of gems that streak across the sky and iiiuminate the world when it falters and cannot find iis way.
I was thinking the other day that Americans are intrigued by royalty. A.mericans have ne,"rer feit the need for hierarchy who live in castles and get paid for waving and going to funerals, but I wouid like to propose a royal family for this country who would have no poliiicai powbr but would symbolize what vye are ail abcut and set the tone for our nation...the Royal Family of

Volunteers.

You cannot be born to this royal family. You must earn your way through the ranks. Congress will not appropriate a salary for your effods. You won't even have your own principaiity.

The perks of royalty, which usually add up to yachts, box seats, parades and siate dinners, may iranslate to long hours, tired sandwiches, costs, rejection, cold coffee, and screaming kids. Royalty as a rule is recognizable. The Royal Family of Volunteers is often nameless, faceless and forgotien. They are often taken for granted, and only a fraction of them ai-e
reccgnized for their talents.

So, how do you know you're royalty? Ah... it's the crown jewels that give you away --- thai sparkling tiara of smiles you have given and tears you have shared, and the rich legacy of caring. ...Thank you to all of our MBES "Royalty"

we truly appreciaie you!
