All-School Unit Culminating Event

As the children lined up to start their day on Friday, their high level of excitement was already evident, and for good reason. It was the day that we celebrate the culmination of the All-School Unit. Before sending the classes inside, T. Alice encouraged them to keep the lessons learned over the past six weeks in their minds, in their bodies and in their spirits throughout their lives.

That afternoon we all gathered to celebrate this year's "Healthy Mind, Body and Spirit" theme with parents, grandparents and other guests. Following an energetic and entertaining musical performance about good eating habits (did you ever think you'd hear a song about fiber?), we moved outside to view displays of the wonderful work completed by every student in the school. And then it was time for the fun run! Children and adults of all ages ran or walked a loop around the lawn and through the school yard. It was heartening to see so many participating and those on the sidelines cheering them on!

The bubbling excitement from the morning carried through the day and was capped with a great sense of camaraderie. As families headed home at the end of the day, T. Connie was heard to say, "That was very cool." I couldn't agree more!
