Today was a beautiful day. Excited chatter spilled out of classrooms and filled the halls. Children held the hand of their grandparents or friends, sharing special spaces in the school. And then the children sang together, raising their voices and stamping and clapping. For me, they chased the shadows away.
We opened our doors to the wider community that strengthens us and sustains us. A school is so much more than a building with children — it is the parents, the grandparents, the aunts, the uncles, the sisters and brothers, the beloved preschool teacher, the neighbors, and the corner store cashier. Looking around today, singing along today, it was impossible to doubt that Prairie Creek is a community school.
