Count Down Continues-Enderly Hieghts Elementary

We love Jared's elementary school. His teacher, Mrs. Royer, is great and really loves Jared. The principle, Mr. Walters, knows every kids name and who their parents are by the end of the third day of school. Jared is our sensitive one and he cries if his class gets in trouble and has time on the line at recess. One day when this happened Mr. Walters, knowing that Jared didn't do anything to get the class in trouble, stood in the line with his hand on Jared's shoulder and when the time was up he patted Jared on the back and said, "It's ok Jared go play and have fun." Isn't that awesome!
I went with Jared on a class field trip today to The Natural Bridge. It was a lot of fun. Let me just say though that teachers are not payed enough. I'm not sure what the going rate is these days for a teachers salary, but anyone who works all day to educate kindergartners deserves well more than 10 times the amount they currently are getting. Man! Those kids are a handful! They are stayed out of a reasonably amount of trouble and ended up having a good time. It was fun to spend the day with Jared and his class.

ooohhhh Natural Bridge! I agree...teachers are not paid enough and in turn sometimes do not pay enough attention to their students so you are lucky!
They had better continue Greys...cause I love it!

Who is the cute girl standing just next to Jared in all of the pics...maybe a girlfriend??? Emma had a boyfriend in her preschool class and she was heartbroken (literally cried for 3 days) when they broke up. I am in trouble when she becomes a teenager!
