Not just cookies…
In May of 2018 I walked into my classroom to find this sign. My students had found out I was retiring at the end of the school year and wanted me to know they appreciated not only the cookies I frequently brought, not only the pancakes I had made recently for a special class breakfast, but my kindness.
That meant the world to me (and still does).
Perhaps the biggest gift any of us can offer others is the kind of safe accompaniment that allows them to become who they are meant to be. In doing that our lives are enriched.
