Mrs. C. has a request from Maggie this week – well, really more of a plea in her hour of exhaustion. With Maggie “injured” (read: dramatically reclining and quoting ‘The Devil Wears Prada’), Paige steps in to rally parents to sign up for Field Day before the situation escalates. None of us is prepared for the measures Maggie will take if we don’t get enough volunteers.

Maggie is here to reassure everyone that this is just Chrissy being Chrissy -miraculously pulling off the impossible every year – with Whit quietly following behind, fixing everything with power tools. Moral of the story: show up and help… or at least come witness the chaos unfold.
