PRIVILEGES......of Retirement

9/11/13 Grandparents' Day..........especially a privilege at a school that not only invites you to join your "grand" for lunch but  gives you a gift when you sign in and welcomes you with big signs throughout the campus AND prepares a special turkey & dressing lunch. Not to mention the principal gives her faculty duty free lunch yet she "works" cafeteria duty the entire time, even wiping the tables. My favorite part was her announcement (sly) reminder as she commended the 4th graders for living up to the school's expectations. Grandson, Owen, said his school had a lot of rules and "spectations."
The other plus was sitting across the table from Kate, a youngster I had prayed for in her early years when I was teaching at HHS with her mother. That was a BIG plus. Such a cutie. She told me her grandmother had come the "other" day before this. I think this is a three day event. 
Grandparents' Lunch at a school that cares about kids---a real privilege!
