Kids and the Layoff

We explained to our daughters that they should wear pink tomorrow to show support for the teachers who will receive their pink slips tomorrow. McKenna asked who is affected. Since it's not official, and there's a sliver of hope that we'll be able to save these folks,we chose not to tell her who. She burst into tears and said "Please don't let it be Mrs. Evenhuis. She's really good and I really like her."

Our thoughts are with those of you who will be affected tomorrow. Hopefully this will pass, and we can work out a way to balance the budget.
