Principal's Corner
From One Mom
I want to personally wish a happy Mother's Day to all of our moms. I see you daily dropping kids off, picking them up for appointments, turning in permission forms and stopping by to drop off a forgotten lunch or delivering treats for a birthday party or chaperoning for a field trip. It seems so long ago now, but I can still vividly remember how crazy busy that life was and how I prayed for the world to slow down and for my life to be simpler. Fast forward, and suddenly I find myself older and my children grown, and there are moments when I wish I could have just a day to go back and be with my kids as they were and take them to the park again. Spending time with your children allows me that chance to go back and relive the fun I had with my own children.
For all our moms and those who play mom for others, I pray that your Mother's Day is joy-filled and that you are surrounded by love. I am grateful to you for your children and the laughter they bring to my heart each day.
