Missed my calling.

Last night the local Papa John's Pizza place helped Jacob's school with a fundraiser. For every pizza ordered by a Hardy Oak family, a teacher would deliver your pizza! His school got 20% of the Hardy Oak sales and got to keep all of the tip money. The school that did it two weeks ago raised $3,300!

Since most of the teachers don't live in the school boundary area, they asked for parent volunteers to drive the teachers around. We had to do a background check, have a flag on the car and wait in a line up of cars for the next teacher to come out with an order or two. I drove a first grade teacher, a third grade teacher and a fifth grade teacher a couple times. Was fun to get to know them in that way. I'd drive them up to the right house and they would jump out and deliver the pizza, jump back in and we were off to the next one! It was pretty fun.

While I was driving, Mark placed an order for delivery to our house. Jacob was hoping for his own teacher to deliver it but a fourth grade teacher he had never met before was the one that came to the door. Bummer! Oh well. We all have newfound respect for the pizza delivery dudes and will probably tip better because of it!
