Tile Walls and comments

Does your school have a tile wall?  I think most schools do nowadays but I could be wrong.  When our school opened in 1999 we had an indoor one.  I know that’s kinda weird but it jazzed the place up a bit.  We are the Jackson Coyotes so here it is..

 It’s between the boys and girls bathroom which is kinda strange but you do see it when you walk into the office which is pretty cool.  The notes on the tiles are from families – dedicated to teachers or in honor of their own children.

We also have 2 outdoor ones…the first one we did when Josh was in kinder and his tile is sooo cute!  He is now in 5th and will be leaving our little school.

Here’s Mandy’s and mine.  Back then Mandy played softball — now she’s a full on volleyball player.  She was in 2nd at the time.  My tile is in honor/memory of my mom.

These are on our pillars as you enter our school.

Then we did this last one last year.  The funny thing is – each one of these walls was done with a different principal…almost like they were each trying to make their mark on our school.  In 13 years we have had 5 principals.

Here’s my handprint…Josh and Mandy did one too – Mandy did one as an alumni which I thought was cool.  They invited all students back if they wanted after school to do one.

So I’m curious…do you have a tile wall at your school?  I think every school in our district has one at least at the elementary level. 

Now for comments — my hubby makes fun of me { lovingly of course } and  has nicknames for my blog stuff.  The first time I went to a bloggy meet up he joked about me going out to lunch with complete strangers.  He calls it my bloggy – blog friends.  Anyway I’m being inundated with spammy comments and it’s driving me a little crazy to say the least.  He keeps saying Babe – you’ve made it – you are getting spam daily!  Yep you are ‘big’ now.  Whateves right?!?!  I’m thinking of going to moderated comments.  So if your comment doesn’t show up right away I will post it soon I promise.  Do you guys just check daily and delete?  I don’t care for the prove you aren’t a robot thingy but I guess it would scare them off a bit.  Ideas???

One last thing I couldn’t post today without reminding all of us to keep Boston and everyone involved in our prayers.  Hubby is from Boston so it hits close to home….
