Gratitude is something we must continually remind ourselves
of. As a teacher, mother and wife I certainly have my cup filled daily with
love, laughter and positivity. It’s one of the lovely gifts we get as teachers.

At the end of the term though, I was fortunate enough to
celebrate a birthday milestone with my class, yes, turning 40! How lovely, I
thought, to spend the day with my class and share some birthday cake for a little
treat. Little did I know that for some time the students had been planning with
Mrs D and Mr B a surprise for me! I walked into a room full of streamers and
happy birthday signs, a graffiti board full of lovely messages and a few jabs
at my old age! Then to the not so tuneful rendition of Happy Birthday ¯-
in walks Mrs D with many gifts brought in by the students. I felt so overwhelmed
by it all and it truly made it the most special day. I will never forget how
the joy of that morning took all the pain away of turning 40!

Seriously, I am so thankful to the parents, students and Mrs
D who orchestrated the special gesture. I now have some lovely keepsakes,
photos and treasured memories of LA8 2017. Until the next LA8 birthday, it's paper, scissors...
you are more than welcome Mrs G, it was my pleasure to be involved and a great way to end the term with you. I am sad we won't be working together this term but I am hoping maybe in the future. All my love, from Mrs D
ReplyDeleteMrs Gill, you truly deserve it! Your class is generous too, but its little compared to everything you've done for everyone else.
