When joy multiplies


This week I want to celebrate one of our school's greatest resources, the parents. I asked a few parents to consider helping our teachers create some artwork for an upcoming school event.  I knew that this group of parents would help if their schedules would allow. I knew that they would be organized and creative. I was confident that they would make adorable pieces of art with our little ones. What I did not anticipate was how much joy they would create in the process. As this photograph shows, the parents had as much fun as the children. I am in awe of the respectful, kind, generous way these loving ladies brought joy into each others lives and made lasting memories for all 230 children in our school.  My heart is overflowing with happiness and gratitude.
The artwork will be ready for display soon and  I can hardly wait to see the joy on the children's faces when they show it to their parents.
