I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful summer weather!  I realized that when I changed the blog theme, the sign-up for Celebrations of Life disappeared from the sidebar.

We would love to have you share photos and stories of your child to celebrate their birthday.  Please sign up using this link.   We celebrate on Wednesday afternoons at 2:40.

As a reminder for our returning students, and an introduction to our new students, we do not celebrate birthdays with treats or trinkets.  Your stories and photos are special enough.  Typically, students bring a picture for each year of their life with their current year represented by themselves.  The class participates in a compliment circle and then they sing (complete with a surprise ending introduced to our class by a former student!).

Some students don’t wish to celebrate, and that is perfectly okay (the attention can be uncomfortable, and I want to honor that).   If your child has a birthday during the summer, we would love to celebrate a half-birthday with them.
