A big thank you to our very special Kindergarten teachers who have been working tirelessly to get their rooms ready for the students!

The Kindergarten parents got together on Mon., Oct. 17 to support these overworked teachers with a special lunch and “spa day.” The teachers were surprised to enter the teacher’s lounge and find it transformed into a “spa.” Professional pedicurists were brought in for hot-stone foot massages and lovely pedicures. The teachers also enjoyed a delicious lunch and lovely cards and a poem.

A special thanks goes out to all of the parents that helped to make this day amazing and to the Clifford teachers and staff who helped in this event.

To Our Kindergarten Teachers:

You started this year with our children’s excitement and uneasy tears,
But that kinder drama you have seen through the years.
And just as it all started to settle into place,
You received a surprise and a red bump on your face.
There was a mysterious biting menace playing a game,
Who wasn’t spotted, smelled and even the doctors didn’t know its name.
This tiny but mite-y emptied your rooms & flipped your world upside down.
Yet you kept our children happy and secure, without donning a frown.
Long weekends and late nights you have labored away,
Unloading and reorganizing- and we are sure you are tired today.
The words thank you truly come from deep in our hearts,
And we wanted to show our appreciation even in little parts.
So please take a calm moment to find peace and relaxation,
Even though what you really deserve is a major vacation!!!

Our deepest gratitude,
The kindergarten children and parents.
