This week the PTA volunteer information got sent home with the boys. My first impression is that it is incredibly organized (love). They have each volunteer opportunity broken into committees (love), and on the school PTA website there is an Excel spreadsheet with all 32 committees listed on it (love).
There is a column to let you know when the event happens (love).
There is a column to let you know if this is a one time or ongoing commitment (love).
There is a column to let you know if this is something you need to do at school or something you can do from home. (PERFECT for working parents. Love. Lovey LOVE.)
Is it wrong to swoon over organization? If so, I don't want to be right.
PS. Alex loves school too. He is quietly enthusiastic, but still talking a mile a minute for him.
PPS. Monday has been downgraded to Nate's second best day ever. Tuesday was his new best day of his life.

THAT is an awesome spreadsheet - I hope our school has one, too! (not that I will suggest it if they don't because I don't want to get roped into doing it myself)
Wordy word
oh the organisation makes my heart skip a beat too. Esp points 2 and 3!
Oh no, it is so right! In fact, Andy and I got into a half hour conversation about Excel the other night that was totally a bonding moment.*
And I was going to call Lindsay's answer, but she got here first.
*I know, that's sad. But that's love in the 21st century.
That is wonderful! Not only is the spreadsheet awesome, but it's located somewhere that everyone that wants/needs to see it, can find it. Sometimes that's half the battle.
I'm so glad this school makes you so happy.
As the (slightly disorganized) spur of the moment kind of person I am, I just don't get it. I'm happy for all you super smarty pantses, but whoa!
I need a little organization in my life.
I want to have an affair with your school's spreadsheet.
Ya, I heart Excel. I think about going back to work just so I can make spreadsheets and get paid for it.
LMAO. Seeing that spreadsheet would give me the heebie-jeevies! Holy Type As! (God Bless them, though. I should definitely get aboard that train!) So happy that your school is such an awesome fit for all of you!
That's hilarious. I'm sure I'd be swooning as well. I excel anything I can -- party planning, holiday shopping, wedding and baby planning...
This must be my love language, too! I'm so going to remember this when I get back into a classroom this fall and when my son goes to kindergarten in two years!
