Prince Charming

Today was the end of the year picnic for the Kindergarten class. The kids enjoyed playing on the playground, playing kickball, eating their picnic lunches, and of course the popsicles and doughnuts! It was great to see the kids having so much fun after a year of hard work. And I was very happy to be there with the D-man and catch up with some of the parents before the end of the year. It is so much harder to get that sense of community with a charter school so you have to make the most of every opportunity.

Of course, the best part of the day for me was when I introduced myself to the mother of a girl in D-man's class. She said she knew exactly who he was and that her daughter has informed her that he is polite, nice, handsome, kind, and oh yeah, smart. Just like "Prince Charming" her daughter told her. Well, I can't think of a better way to end the year. We all try our best and work to raise wonderful children - and compliments like these keep us going on this long journey. Congrats to my big boy on wrapping up an awesome year!
