For over 20 years I have been teaching preschool. Last Friday, May 18th was graduation for my 4-5 year old classes. The children did a great job memorizing the program, singing and making wonderful memories. It is always a hard time for me when each of them walk away.. knowing this is their last day of school. I may never see them again. I love these kids so much. But today I received in the mail a graduation announcement from one of my students that Brought tears to my eyes, that reminded me that they will always know I love them, even if I never see them again....
"After years of education, I can still always remember it started with you. Thanks for starting me off right and teaching me to love learning. I love you Mrs. Doggett". From Calvin Derek fay (preschool student 2005).
I'm ok with them hugging me and saying goodbye now... And maybe never seeing me again because each child knows I love them and isn't that the greatest gift we can ever give to a child.
Thank you Calvin and thank you to the many students that send me graduation announcements. I look forward to seeing and hearing how you are all doing.
Mrs. Doggie
