Put a monkey in someone's chair

For their Service Learning Project this year, Miss Horn's first grade class, will be having a Lemonade stand. The money they raise will go towards providing a "Monkey in my chair" kit to another student with cancer. Monkey Connor has been a big part of their class this year and they would like to provide the same experience for another child in need.
WHO: Miss Horn's 1st grade class
WHAT: Lemonade Stand Fundraiser (50 cents a glass)
WHERE: Scappoose Middle School Bus Lane
WHEN: May 15th, Starting at noon
We hope to see you there!


So close, but not quite


We started the weekend off right with good news about Connor's scans. We celebrated my birthday on Saturday (again, Connor's favorite part was the cake). Sunday we had a nice celebration with friends with fun games and snacks.

Unfortunately Connor didn't meet his counts on Monday, and was unable to start his chemotherapy on time this round. He was so close. We are taking a week to build up his counts and will try again this coming Monday. Good news: his counts are up enough that we aren't shunned from crowded public places, so he will get to visit his friends this week at school for a little bit, and maybe we can catch a movie this week.
