Dear parents and friends,
By now I'm sure you're hearing lots of stories about our Fifth Grade Overnight. It was a tremendous experience full of learning and personal growth. As we processed the time we spent together at the overnight in morning meeting, we realized just how much we accomplished:
we bonded as friends
we bonded with teachers
we supported one another
we encouraged one another
we challenged our ability to communicate successfully
we pushed our comfort levels
we braved the elements
we laughed
we overcame frustrations
we made it through personal discomforts (getting wet, coping with anxieties)
we slept outdoors
we awoke to a brilliant morning
we became more confident in ourselves
we became more confident in each other
we sang
we acted out skits
we cooked at the campfire
we paddled
we climbed
we walked
we pitched tents
... and we left the area we borrowed from Mother Nature cleaner than we found it.
Thank you for entrusting your children to us so that we could share this very special experience for them. It's a spectacular way to begin winding up our school year.
Fondly,
Laura
