Back-to-School Night

The glorious day finally arrived - the day the kids have been looking forward to for weeks... meeting their teachers. They showered up (Hannah perfumed up as well!), put on new clothes, packaged hand sanitizer as a gift, drew cards... and they were off with Jimmy to the school. They seemed relieved upon their return home to finally know what to expect. Seeing their new school environment and teacher helps them feel more at ease.

Abe's teacher put this quote in her little packet of info.

"Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that will never be again And what do we teach our children? We teach them that two and two make four, and that Paris is the capital of France. When will we also teach them what they are? We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michaelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel. And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you, a marvel? You must work, we must all work, to make the world worthy of its children." — Pablo Casals

I'm pleased with both of the kid's teachers this year. It makes me teary-eyed to think of all the good people in the community who bless my children's lives. I always hope and pray that their teachers will see their potential and love my little ones.
