The end of another school year is upon us, and I am already feeling the tears welling up in my big melon. The summer is such a long time for me to not see these kids. The school year will begin anew in the late summer, and the little cuties will have grown. Some of them will not be little anymore, and will have moved on to the Intermediate school.
So, I have to remember when they were just brand new Kinders here at Jefferson. I have to search my memories to see the shy little kiddos that first stepped in that big metal door that they couldn't yet open, nearly six years prior. Thinking of how shy they were and how curious, and how they have become less shy and more curious, warms my heart. It also gives me joy in seeing the new group of kids that have come so far this past year. And many thanks to the greatest Kindergarten Teachers in the solar system, Mrs N and Mrs. G! You two are amazing and loved by so many who see you work and love these kids every day!
So, as I wipe a tear from my eye, I want to share with you a short video that Mrs. N captured yesterday at the annual talent show. There were many precious moments, but this one is extra special to me. It will be a time capsule of these wonderful little souls, and a way for them to see the wonder in their own eyes, and the freedom they had in expression at this age, for a lifetime. I had to rig this, so just humor me and follow the link to the video.
Amazing, am I right?! So, when the world gets on your last nerve this summer, and you need a lift, just remember this video of these wonderful kids! They don't know they're beautiful...you know the rest.
