Surprise #2

Posted by: Brooke on May 28, 2008

We were having a great day at school! We had just gotten back from a field trip to the zoo. The weather was perfect and we all had a great time. I was the last to get off the bus when we returned back to school, so I signed the bus forms and headed inside. I was thinking of having a low key afternoon since we were all pretty tired from the field trip. I walked into the room and….

SURPRISE!!

I was surrounded by the mothers of my students! They had decided to throw me a surprise bridal shower. I was completely shocked but touched by their thoughtfulness. We had another wonderful spread of food and there were lots of gifts! It was a great opportunity for all of the moms to be together to talk and get to know each other! I opened gifts, we all ate, talked and laughed. We ended the party with a group pictures.

As I left school that day, I cried a little. I was so honored and touched that these parents would do such a wonderful thing for me. I felt so lucky to work with those kids and those parents and I really felt that the connection between us had gotten stronger!
