Message
from a Penbrooke Meadows Teacher, December 14/14 about our “Families Helping
Families” project:
So
taking the gifts was such an experience to the home I went to - I actually was
emotional afterwards driving home.
When
they opened the door there were 4 kids and 1 baby. They had a small little
tree that they had put lights on and it was sitting on top of a side coffee
table. The kids’ faces were so happy - they lit up. They started
jumping up and down and saying Thank you Thank you Thank you..! They
couldn't believe that we just kept bringing more bags in and more.... We
told them that they were to save these for Christmas to open...so they said
they are going to put them under the little tree and they started to make a
pile. They commented on the wrapping paper and how special it made them
feel that they were wrapped. Mom gave us a big hug and said Thank you So
much. The kids were so excited and were waving to us when we left.
There
was no feeling like it. Your families and staff have made SUCH a
difference to our school and our families through your generosity. This
was only one family that I delivered and it didn't leave my mind all weekend.
To see this family filled with such joy was amazing.
Thank
you from the bottom of our hearts Cranston School and Ms. Rauser. We love
you. xx
Dear Mom and Dad:
We had three guest teachers today as all of our teachers
were at a meeting. Our teachers received great feedback. We were peacemakers
and were great listeners and learners. Let’s write the blog together. I can
answer the question of the day. Here’s the challenge: Try not to repeat any
comments that were made.
Question of the day: Post on the blog one thing you remember
doing today?
Love,
The Rainbow Triad
