A Sincere Thank You

I received this e-mail the other day from a parent of a student in someone else’s classroom. The names have been changed:

I just wanted to take a minute and thank the three of you for coming out to support our kids last night. I know it meant so much to the kids that you took time out of your personal life to come see them play baseball. I know how excited John was to have you there.. And you could see the excitement on all the other kid’s faces… they really enjoyed having some of their teachers there rooting them on. You being there again just goes to show what a great, caring group of teachers we have. And as a parent, I’m so happy to know my children are entrusted to you every day.

Each year I inform my students that I will attend at least one game (baseball, soccer, whatever) during the season if they provide me a schedule. Taking in the baseball game the other night, I was joined by a couple of my colleagues and a few parents. Since I had students on both teams, I was guaranteed a win (and a loss). It was a good time!

Also blogged on this date . . .
