After her class sang a couple precious songs to an adoring audience, Maggie walked across the stage to receive her rolled-up coloring sheet, wearing a miniature mortarboard. Adorbs. The program finished with a slide show recapping their year.
Cookies and juice were awaiting us in the lobby, and Maggie picked up the alphabet book that she had constructed over the course of the school year as they learned about each letter. The teachers also had wrapped books for each of the children as a graduation gift. Maggie's package contained three chapter books (have I mentioned she is a voracious reader?). More than her academic proficiencies, however, I am most proud of how her teachers talk about the kindness she shows to others. While we, as parents, are more aware than anyone of our children's shortcomings and weaknesses, we give thanks for the way we see their character being refined by God.
On to Kindergarten!
