We had a visitor in the elementary class today. She mentioned that she felt a sense of joyfulness in the class. I’m pleased that she picked up on that!

Energy levels are increasing with the approach of the end of the year. Or maybe it is just the low-pressure system hanging around.

I forgot to include in the newsletter that went out this week that the school won the phone book recycling drive. Bravo! Such spirit among our families makes that possible.

A parent has been delivering seconds and left-overs from Rubbermaid where he works. What a treasure-trove. Among the goodies are bunches and bunches of Sharpies. It will take a long time to use them up! We were joking that we should give one to each child to do self-decoration for Mother’s Day. (That is really just a joke!) but Valerie had a great idea. At the beginning of the year we can give one to each family for labeling all those things that tend to get lost at school!
