Forget Me Nots

So this past year I had the wonderful privilege of serving several great families. One of these will always hold a special place in my heart. Their thoughtfulness and kindness was a bright spot every day.  This little girl, in her braided pigtail, tutu and converses, would see me coming down the hall and yell, "Mrs. Hale, HEY!!!", every single morning. She is very sweet and will be missed so much next year. She is switching to another school in the county where her mommy works:(. Man will I miss her and her hugs!!

The last day of school she came in with the special little gift, all wrapped up. It was a plant potter with seeds and dirt.  The seeds were Forget me Nots. On the little Popsicle stick she wrote, "Forget me Not". On the plant potter she cut out some pictures of her and I am then mod- podged it. So on my windowsill I have this sweet little memory of this special little girl. What a GREAT, CREATIVE, way to "Forget me Not". Well I planted the seeds at the end of school and they are finally sprouting.

What a thoughtful gift. As a teacher, I pour my life into these kids. I don't expect anything in return, but when someone has the thoughtfulness to do something so small, and mostly inexpensive, it means the world to me. If you are looking for a way to melt your teachers heart...this is one of those ways:)

If you are reading this "R" family, thank you for being so thoughtful! I love you guys and you WILL be missed at HES:(
