Happy Retirement to the bestest Early Childhood Educator Rolla, Mo has ever had. I've worked along side Ms Kathy in 2 seperate center, she taught hundreds of kids, we've been in several classrooms, threw some crazy toddler parties, blew up balloons until we were blue in the face and had blisters on our fingers, crafts, laughs, science, some history, little math (!!!!), we had too many to count "maybe we should have thought that through moments", she's my go to law advisor (she didn't get that degree for nothing!). My favorite time will always be the year and a half we spent teaching together, those poor kiddos! She's the bestest person in the world, faults and all. She's honest and true. She gives so much more than she takes. Ms Bennett, Rolla thanks you!!!!!! I thank you~ Rana

Sooooo much love to Amanda, a most supportive parent these past 3 years!!!! 2 kiddos coming through while she navigates her return to her own career path all while supporting us and her family. She gave us yummy pizza this week. But I wanted to all give her a shout out and say CONGRATS on getting your very own class room come January. You are going to rock Second Grade (don't ask me for advice though, I can only count to 10 and sing the abcs 😉)!!!!!!!

Ok, I just can't help sharing this delightful goodness on Program Day. Lunch is double grilled cheese on whole grain with tomato soup and apple slices. I do believe the teachers will be joining in!!!!!! Look at that oozing cheese!

What does it take to fill a 2 year old's classroom full of balloons????? The world may never know. So far 2 hours, hundreds of balloons, one air machine, 3 teachers, sore fingers, and lots of loud pops as some explode. I highly anticipate giggles from the kiddos today.
