Let the Holiday's Begin!!

Yesterday I made my rounds to three more schools. I saw friends at Mitchell, Neal, and Fannin. The campus of Mitchell Elementary was so nice, and everyone there was equally as nice. All the students were well behaved and happy to see me. While at Neal, I saw my friend Fred, he is one of our ticket takers at Bombers games. The Neal students were all ready to get out for the holidays. Then it was off to Fannin as they let out of school for the last time in 2008. Those students were excited to see me, but I think most of them had another jolly ole fella on their mind.

Happy Holidays, KaBoom

School, School, School

Today I visited 3 more Bryan ISD schools, Milam, Jones, and Carver. Everyone was so excited to see me! Some kids asked for my autograph at Jones, but I didn't have anything to sign with, or on...I guess they will just have to come out to a game to get one. I was at Milam and Jones at lunch time, but the kids had no problem taking a break from lunch to give me a high five. At Carver I made sure that the kids found their way to the bus, as we slapped hands on the way out. I'll make my way to a few more schools tomorrow to end the week.

School's Out!

Yesterday afternoon I went to Johnson Elementary to see the kids off. I stood in the main hallway as the kids caught the bus, or got in a car. Lots of high fives were handed out, and for the first time this week I signed some autographs. Once one of the bright young ones realized that my autograph will be worth something, it seemed like every kid that could find pen and paper wanted my John Handcock. I gladly signed as many as I could as fast as I could. Some of the teachers were trying to tell the kids not to get me to sign because it was taking to long, I think they were just jealous that they did not have pen and paper for themselves. Johnson students were a lively bunch, and ready to get home.

Elementary Lunch

Today I visited some friends at Henderson and Crockett elementary schools. It was lunch time when I got there, but the kids had no problem playing with me instead of eating. At Henderson, I saw my friend Tanner, he threw out the first pitch at the last Bombers game in 2008. I recognized kids at both schools from BooFest at the Ballpark, or other events that I've been to around town. I've got one more visit this afternoon, maybe I will see some more friends I know.

Visiting Schools

Today, I went to Kemp and Navarro Elementaries in Bryan ISD. We arrived while the kids were eating lunch. I thought I was excited to see the kids, but their excitment may have out done mine. I don't know if the teachers liked all the screaming and leaving the lunch table, but I sure did. I saw so many smiles today at both schools. The faculty at the schools was so nice, I would like to thank them for having me out today. I will be attending a few more schools this week, maybe yours will be one of them.

Santa's Wonderland

On Thursday I got to go see some light, and people in the holiday spirit. I went out to Santa's Wonderland, and although I didn't drive through the park, I did get to go to the town. There were a lot of people out there sitting around the camp fires trying to stay warm. I smelled lots of treats that had to taste good because they smelled great! It was a really neat place for the B/CS area to have.

Food for Families Food Drive

Last week on Wednesday, I went to the KBTX Food for Families Food Drive at the Brazos Center. What a great event that was, although it was SNOWING!! There was still a great amount of people that came out to drop of food for those that would not otherwise have food. I was very surprised at the number of people that braved the crazy Texas weather to give back. Maybe we can have some more snow this holiday season.
