The Brownie's acted as color guard and helped run the ceremony Sunday for Troop 99's investiture.
After the pledge of allegiance the girls read a story about Juliet "Daisy" Low 
and the Daisy's said their Girl Scout promise in public for the very first time! Afterward they got their Daisy membership pin and first earned petal badges
Saturday I spent the day as class mom for Syd's dance class in their holiday show. I forgot my camera at home but once Marc arrived at the venue he brought it to me (YAY!). These pictures are all backstage. No flash photography is allowed during the show and our camera is crummy at taking pictures in the dark.
One of the little girls in my group was in Hip hop as well as the Jazz number the class did ('Zat you Santa Claus?)
Chilling before we went on. We were there Monday, Tuesday and Weds 3 hours at practice then again Friday night 4 1/2 hours. Saturday dancers call was at 9:15 and the show wasn't until 4! It was a long day but the girls worked SO hard and were wonderful! I may try to get a clip from the DVD when we get it.
After the Grandma's came back to the house (we were suppose to go out but it was snowing and getting icy so we didn't)
Set up of the Holiday Secret Shoppe, this picture is the silent auction table.
We set up a store and wrapping area for about 300 kids. The idea is that they come in (no parents) are assigned someone to help budget their shopping, pay and get the gifts wrapped (therefore keeping them a secret until the holidays). We go and buy about 1500-2000 items to sell the night of the shoppe and usually make around $2000.00 profit for our PTO (mostly from the donated items we auction)
It's a lot of work and we get the help of many many volunteers. We also sell food, have tables set up where the different grades can sell things to make money for their classes, have a full night of entertainment and even pictures with Santa! Much of the work is done by 4 of us!
Here are some of the cheerleaders from the High school helping the smaller kids shop
