…..in all the years that I’ve been doing Curriculum Night or Meet the Teacher Night, I’ve never been given flowers
…………until this week.
On Thursday evening our school held its annual Curriculum Night, where the parents come to meet the teachers and learn what some of the expectations for their child’s grade are. Routines, curriculum information, assessment and upcoming field trips are some of the things that are presented to the parents.
Some of us who don’t have homerooms, greeted parents in the hall and directed them to classrooms and the room where they could drop off their children to watch a movie. One of the families came by with flowers for the principal, thanking her for all that she had done when they first arrived from Europe last year. Half way through the evening they arrived with three more bouquets for the rotary teachers who also taught their children. It was such a spontaneous and kind gesture and we were all flabbergasted by the generosity and thoughtfulness of these gifts.
Cheers!

That’s so sweet and thoughtful. Curriculum night sounds similar to our open house.

We do an open house as well, later in the year when it’s Education Week.

A beautiful gesture … and such a beautiful bouquet, I think we should give each other flowers so often as possible – we should give to each other while we still can see their beauty and smell their fragrance.

I agree. Even my husband said he would appreciate flowers, yet we don’t often think of giving men flowers.

When I was engaged with my Germany fiancé … I made sure he had fresh flowers on his desk every Monday morning. He loved flowers. So buy your husband some flowers on a rainy Wednesday without any reason. *smile

Wow, such thoughtfulness. Truly they understood and appreciated the amount of love, caring and time you put into each of the children. It’s amazing what small acts of kindness can do.
