I came upon a group of teachers and students rallying and promoting after school activities.
I had my Leica M3 and Summicron 50/2 with me - and one roll of Kodak BW400CN.
Snapped some photos, got the email from one of the teachers and sent him some copies (who liked them and ended up showing them to all the children).
Some of the photos:

The text that went with these photos (small, local online publication):
Lights On!
On October 12th, children and members of the School Health Programs Department (SHPD) ExCEL took to the streets to join more than 7,500 sites across the nation celebrating and promoting after school programs as part of the 7th Annual 'Lights On After School'.
The intent was to send a message that after school activities is key to children's success and that we must keep the lights on – and doors open – after school. Quality after school programs provide children with opportunities to discover hidden talents as they grow academically as well as socially.
Parents, media, employers, neighbors, school officials and others were all invited to help rally for safe, stimulating after school programs.
To help support these activities a 2nd Annual Harvest Festival will be held on October 27th, 2006 at the McKinley elementary school's lower yard (1024 14th street) at 6:30-9:30pm. Everyone is invited to join in for a night of fun, food and games where all proceeds goes to benefit the After School Enrichment Program.
For anyone intersted I'll be putting up some more about this event at my small blog Batteries Not Included in a bit.
