(Taking Gia to Disneyland with Robert and her Dad this weekend)
Today 6/11 Gia’s last day of kindergarten.
She has had an awesome year due to wonderful Kid’s Care before and after her afternoon kindergarten. She has had three great classroom teachers. with adventures in art, science, music, drama, reading, writing, math, friendship and so much more. Her classroom is a glorious array of every child’s success displayed in every corner. We went to the Kindergarten kid’s musical concert two weeks ago.
What a special time for her to be learning and growing at a public school that actually believes and lives their own mission. From the principal on down they intend every child to leave sixth grade knowing that all things are possible. Whether the teacher’s requests of the administration or the kid’s requests of the teachers, everyone is heard and responded to with respect and support to make their dreams come true. The PTA raises money to keep the library open longer hours. When funding is short, they raise money to buy what is needed. Everyone is encouraged to make a difference. They are making a difference in children’s lives. They make a difference in the community. They make a difference to each family.
Every child deserves to be at a school where the teachers support the kids, the administration supports the teachers, the school board supports the administration and the community supports the school board. Everyone makes a difference, from the custodian and cafeteria worker to the principal and school secretary. You and I can do so much to raise our children in loving caring environments.

Give each child and every child an opportunity to express their thoughts and feelings.
Give each child and every child the smiles, hugs and quiet time they so much need.

Give each child and every child your very best..even if you have never met before.
Children live up to our expectations when they are loved.

We will all win……
Loving each child and every child.
