500 000 bread tabs and visitors galore!

We are half way to one million! What an exciting day! I had a high school friend, who now lives in Ontario, come to visit today. She brought along her son and daughter, who were on March Break. They wanted to see our project. They even brought a contribution of 1069 tabs. (My kiddies estimated it was 1000 before they counted. Close, very close.) What a thrill when I started asking how much they had at each table and they realized that we had made it to the halfway point. They helped us fill our new 100 000 container and then pictures were taken. Later on, a dear, sweet former student from our school stopped by. Even though he left our school in grade 1 or 2, his grandfather has been continuing to bring in bread tabs on a regular basis. I was so happy to be able to show him that we had made it halfway. How long will it take to get the next half? The majority of my students think it will take less than the three and one half years it took to collect the first half. I think they may just be right.
