Hope for the future . . .

Email from my 9 year old son's school teacher:

Dear Parents,We don’t hear often enough the good things that happen in school. So, I want to share something that occurred on the playground today with your sons. During our morning recess, most of the boys were playing football. I was standing out in the field so I could see the girls on the playground equipment and the boys on the field. I was far enough away that the boys didn’t even notice I was watching, yet close enough that I could hear them. I am so proud of what I saw and heard that I have to share it with you. Every single boy that wanted to play was included. I heard words of encouragement such as “Nice try”, “Way to go”, “Oh that’s ok, maybe you’ll catch it next time”, “Let’s try it again!”, “Nice play”, “Hey guys, we’re just playing a fun, fair game!”, “Good job, you almost got it!”

We basically have one classroom rule – the C.A.R. rule. It stands for courtesy, acceptance, and respect. They definitely were “driving” their car responsibly today. Know that your child is living their faith. I told them how proud I was and gave them 20 marbles, perhaps you could give them an extra hug/ kiss, and an “I love you”!

Have a good evening,
Mrs. McKinnon
