As we struggle with the whys, I look at my own life and spend a little time in reflection. We will never understand why things happen and who they happen to, but we must trust that our Lord is in control. As I returned to school on Monday, I was met with 21 little smiles and pure joy on their faces. We also had a celebration scheduled for that day. Inside I had to send up little prayers knowing that I needed to love and do everything I could to take care of these 21 little faces before me. So let us remember to give out a few extra hugs, say a few extra prayers, and always cherish the moments we have before us.
Marshall Elementary School 2012-2013 Kindergarten Class
At the awards presentation in Washington, DC our principal, Mr. Leis, and I had to dance before we were given the award. Today I taught the entire building the dance that we preformed at the ceremony. The kids had a lot of fun and were super excited when they each got there very own Blue Ribbon medal to take home.
Way to go Marshall, and thank you to everyone for making our school the incredible place it is!

"Trust in the lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight."
