About Parents:
I was just reading the weekly newsletter sent to the parents from the K-1 teacher and realized that most of the parents of the K-1 students either volunteer at the school, teach at the school, donate things to the classroom or pick up things from the teacher’s wish list when they are at the store. It’s just a wonderful group of families. I’m so glad that the teacher lets us know what everyone else is doing. If parental involvement in a school is a measure of the school’s quality, we are top notch.
About Kids:
Last week at Shabbat circle Rabbi Aaron had such a large pile of mitzvah notes from the kids that he couldn't even read them all. One was really sweet and stuck in my mind. A kindergarten boy does not like to eat and often refuses to eat his lunch. The Rabbi read a mitzvah note that said that this little boy had eaten his lunch nicely one day. All of the kids and the teachers clapped and congratulated him as the Rabbi explained that taking care of your body is also a mitzvah. The little boy had a big smile. His was the only mitzvah that received applause.
From a kid's perspective:
R. my child, said the other day “My school does not have very many kids in it, but when we all play together, it feels like there are lots of kids.”
