Our Obama Adventure

Ladies! I just wanted to commend you all on your exemplary conduct at yesterday's rather impromptu field trip to Seattle Center to see/hear/experience presidential candidate Barack Obama. While there had been hints of less-than-desirable Metro bus behavior from years past, you all were fantastic in yesterday's "less-than-desirable" bus crowds! I saw folks giving up seats to older passengers and heard one elderly lady bid two SGS 8th graders goodbye as we exited, stating, "It's been very nice talking with you girls!" (Way to go Rhys and Emma M!!!) Then too, I appreciated the mature resignation with which many of you accepted my seemingly arbitrary decisions about not buying food at the Center, not re-locating to the cement deck over the Key Arena stairwell (did you hear Barack tell some boy to get down from there???), and I was most impressed with the manner in which you braved what turned out to be a VERY cold day!! All in all, it was an excellent field trip - made all the more memorable by your positive attitudes and your cooperative behavior. You guys rock!!
