New Year, New Excitement

Written on 1:19 PM by Unknown

Yesterday was our first day of classes for students in grades 1-5. It was a beautiful morning and we had lots of parents accompany their students and snap pictures of the 1st day activities. As I worked to write route numbers of bus riders' hands and make it possible for everyone to find their teacher, I forced myself to also look at the expressions on parents' faces. Nearly every face told me of their hopes for the coming year. I'm going to try to remember that image every day as we work through the year. Despite today's almost constant rain, I am buoyed by the enthusiasm I saw yesterday and hope we can carry that enthusiasm throughout the year.
