Choir Farewell Picnic

The amazing Grosse Pointe North Choir family threw us a picnic yesterday, and we had a chance to say goodbye to current and former students and parents. The kids bought me a sterling silver charm bracelet that has charms to remind me of our time with GPN. AcaFella signed Jed's AcaFella shirt with all the names from the past years! They are working on framing it for him. Finally, the parents gave us a beautiful Waterford Crystal vase so we can think of them always.

Look closely at the two pictures below. The top one is when Owen finally got his fingers in the frosting, only to be a little upset at how messy he was!

The bottom picture is when I convinced him to stick his fingers in his mouth and he realized that life is good when you have frosting on your fingers!

Looks like you had a wonderful send-off.:) Teaching is rewarding; it's all about the students, parents, families, faculty, and the time and place. Enjoy your new position and family too!
