Last year, or was it just yesterday, when I rang the bell on the final two days of school, I found myself wanting to keep ringing and ringing.  Perhaps in hope that it would prolong the shortened day, which signified the end of an all too short and fast year!!! 

Summer, albeit the quintessential "break time", is never my preference.  I miss the children, the chatter, the squeals, the laughter, the energy, the love when they are not around.  A part of "us" is missing when they are not here.  So.....YOU enjoy your summer,  I, along with all of the teachers who love them, will be here waiting for the return of the children, and their families in August.  Until then, stay safe, be happy, know you are loved. 

  Weekly Prayer.... Dear Lord, watch over all those we care for.  Shine Your light on them wherever they may go.  Help them to remember that You are by their side.  Amen
