Well – after much sweat and toil – the Eiffel Tower is complete – all in its 17 foot glory! At the last minute, a parent – Beth’s mom and a teacher – Ms. Chan – arrived with duct tape and dowel rods to complete the final bottom layer.
The Dance was wonderful – it is amazing how a gym can be transformed when all the kids decorate! Ben and Jerry’s catered – how special is that!!!
This is Ms. Rocha’s homeroom – I wish that I had my homeroom do the same!


Students at Hale are preparing for tomorrow’s big dance of the year – the Graduation Dance. The theme is “Midnight in Paris” and the kids have been busy creating Eiffel Towers, Photo Areas and Street Lamps – all from cardboard kits. These are all pretty sophisticated and took ingenuity, creativity and lots of glue and duct tape! Here is the before and after of the Eiffel Tower. Tomorrow I will update the blog with the final preparations and what it looked like on the day.
Several kids, not pictured here, helped with the first story of the Tower.
