While there will be many forms of communication throughout the year, this blog is an easy, fun way for you to see what we are up to in class. It is also a way for you and other family members to be involved in our activities, lessons and projects. Please feel free to post comments to pictures and posts. If you have questions or difficulties accessing any part of the blog, feel free to e-mail me and we will try to troubleshoot together. :)
I hope that you all had a wonderful, restful (or busy) summer! In July, I was blessed with the opportunity to travel to Kenya, Africa for two and a half weeks. While on this trip, I was a part of a 25-person team who brought medical and school supplies to many Kenyans. We worked in a week-long medical clinic, visited and worked in several schools, held babies in orphanages, and most importantly created lasting friendships with people on the other side of the planet! As you can imagine, this experience has impacted my life in many ways. It reminded me of how little we truly are as one being, but when we join together, we can make a huge positive impact on those around us. It reminded me that no matter the situation, we are all a team and we must work together openly to reach one common goal.
Obviously, we all agree that the education of a child is one of the most beneficial and important gifts one can receive. It is my personal mission to positively impact the lives of each child I come in contact with. In doing that, it is also my goal to give 110% of my efforts to help educate in the best way that I know how. The new school year is the perfect reminder to us that we are all an important piece to the puzzle. How exciting to be a small part of something so big! :)
Thank you for all of the efforts and support you have already given your child! Get ready for an exciting year--It's going to ROCK! :)
