Last night I volunteered at the school. (Well, sort of...Actually the teacher volunteered me) It was the grade 6 graduation ceremonies and the grade 5 parents were asked to help. R's teacher found out that I was a server and decided that I should be the one to hand out cake and punch. Yay! I knew that my years of experience would qualify me for an important job one day! Anyway...I had fun.
The service was very well done and I got all teary eyed at the presentations. I don't even know these kids! I'll be a basket case next year when R graduates to grade 7. One touching moment was the citizenship award. The students were asked to vote for the person that they found to be the best friend, the most encouraging, helpful, trustworthy and fun person. The award didn't go to the good looking sports guy or the pretty and popular socialite girl. It went to this pudgy kid with glasses and a huge smile. This kid had an energy about him! He was jolly! I was so proud of the kids who voted for him. ( I would have thought from his look that he would have been picked on ) These children looked past exteriors and honoured this boy for who he is on the inside. It was a beautiful thing!
