Happy New Year and Happy Hannukah to those who celebrated last week!
This week flew by at WSS! We said farewell to Ms. Christina and welcomed Ms. Peggy to our front office. The students shared stories, thank yous and hugs today as they all passed through the office for a final farewell.
There were many heartful gestures and tributes to thank Ms. Christina. I wish I could share them all!
Here is a poem from Ms. Ferguson’s Grade 3 class about Ms. Christina:
At our school, so bright and fun, we have a Hero, she’s number 1!
Ms. Christina, so nice and sweet, with a smile that can’t be beat.
When I fall and scrape my knee, she rushes in and helps me!
With ice packs and Bandaids near, she takes away my pain and fear.
If I’m late or need to go, she is there to help me, you know?
With lost and found she makes it right, helping us to find things, day or night.
When I’m sick, she calls my home, so that my mom and dad are not alone.
If my parents call, she’ll let me know, Thank You Ms. Christina, you always glow.
With her jokes and kindness every day, she brightens up our school in every way.
She keeps us safe, and that’s so true. Dear Ms. Christina, we will miss you!
Thank you for all the things you do, for every smile and Bandaid, too.
You’re the treasure we all adore. West Springs School will miss you more!
