This week, I've been reminded of the simple JOYS of elementary school. We've been working at a fevered pace the past few years. And, there's just something about this school year that is different. I feel calm. I feel like the kids are calm. I feel like YOU are calm. I even feel like the parents are calm...for the most part.
My calm has helped me notice the simple JOYS of spending my days with children. I've noticed skippers in the hallway. I've taken the time to look for smiling faces. I've had relaxed conversations with parents about how much their kids are loving school. And, I've spent time with many of you, laughing about funny things that happen here! The past couple nights we've had playtimes on the playground. These low key events have also reminded me that LESS IS MORE. Parents and kids don't need elaborate events or elaborate emails and newsletters from us. They just appreciate a simple connection and to know that their kids are in a place that is fun and safe. I hope you all take the time to appreciate the simple JOYS this school year is offering us.
