WOWZA... Where did the time GO?

My husband pointed out that today is his last day to take a child to school on a regular basis since August 2005. THAT IS SEVEN YEARS!! and where has the time gone?

I can tell you about some of those moments...

Kindergarten for Alex... Mrs. Jayne Petrea and Mrs. Bink Gobble made it wonderful. They loved Alex through his growing pains and adjustment to leaving Richfield Child Devlopment Center (where Miss Jessica, Mrs. Deborah and Mrs. Kelly encouraged creativity and love for play). Alex still talks about the Dress-up Center in Kindergarten. Thank you for encouraging him to "be anything he wanted to be".
First grade for Alex... Mrs Paula Askew loved Alex enough to have high expectations. She was brave and true to herself when she let us know of some problems he was having. FOR THAT HONESTY.. we are truly grateful. He thrived under the guidance of Mrs. Askew and Mrs. Goodman and still talks about "reading in the closet". WONDERFUL TIMES FOR HIM!!
Second grade for Alex... was with Mrs. Butler and Mrs. Call. These ladies proved to be exactly what Alex needed to learn organization and develop self-control.. and yes.. we are still working on those skills!!
Third grade for Alex... Mrs. Rhonda Hiskey and Mrs. Gayle "Floster" created an arena of acceptance. Anderalex had one great year!! He developed an emerging love for reading and was helped to navigate through that first EOG! Thanks to those two women who loved him despite his constant boyness!!
Fourth grade for Alex.. Mrs. Trexler, Mrs. Zimmerman, Mrs. Morefield, and Mr Raiti proved to be a GREAT team for Alex. He will never forget Where The Red Fern Grows, Lighthouses, 21st Century Learning, and playing football with the coolest male on Morgan's campus.
Fifth grade for Alex... got a little challenging after Christmas. He was showing some signs of being ready for sixth grade even if Mom and Dad were not! Mrs. Traci Eller encouraged and pushed Alex to grow THIRTEEN points on his Reading EOG and learning ALL that Science material certainly paid off for Mrs. Newman and Alex!!
AND for the past two years our McWednesday has been given a dose of sunshine from Mrs. Benge and Mrs. Nesbitt. As a mom, it has made me feel so much better having you as friends who could fill in should a crisis occur. Alex will miss seeing you both on a daily basis.


Our time at Morgan has been doused with fun, laughter, and non-stop support for our children! For all those "guides on the side", we are eternally grateful for the assistance you lovingly provided in molding our boys. Their successes (past and future) should be jewels in your crowns! We pray earnestly that you know and believe that your calling is a GOD thing and that your days will be filled with blessings as you have blessed us!
