Teacher Appreciation Night

Tonight for mutual our Miamaid class was in charge of a Teacher Appreciation Night. Each of the youth invited their favorite teacher to come for a night of ice cream sundaes and fun. 

This event was a little hard to plan for, not knowing how many youth would actually invite a teacher, and not knowing how many teachers would actually show up. (A little stress was definitely involve in the planning of this activity) But out of the 30 youth that attended tonight we had 10 teachers show up . The night ended up being a big success!

Today my time was spent decorating... 

Shopping for as many sundae toppings as you could possible think of...

and finishing up these frames that we gave to all of  the teachers as gifts.

For our program we had the bishop speak. He talked about President Hinckley's "B's" one of them being "Be Smart" and about how much our church values education. The kids had pictures taken with their teacher and then ate ice cream sundaes with them. I printed up a little questionnaire for the kids to ask their teachers while they ate and then after dessert they brought their teachers up front to tell a little of what they had learned. A lot of the kids found out some really funny things about their teachers.

To finish out the evening the Youth sang the EFY medley song. I loved it! They did awesome. 

Thanks for all your help on this activity Kim.

Now it's on to our next one :)
