"Teachers open the door. You enter by yourself."
---Chinese Proverb
I love volunteering in my daughter's second grade class. The kids are adorable, and as I've said on other days when I've volunteered there, the teacher is wonderful. So patient and kind, as are most of the teachers at this elementary school. I feel very lucky to live in this district, where public schools certainly rival private schools in terms of quality and parent involvement (though I would think class size is smaller in private school).
I spent most of the time in the copy room, but was totally fine with being there since that's what the teacher needed done. I'm a big believer in the idea that volunteers should do what they are asked and told to do rather than try to control the agenda. As a mom, I do enough of that at home and enjoy the concept of sitting back and being told what to do!
We also had the MoverMoms Board meeting here at my house tonight. What a remarkable group of women we have on that Board. Lawyers, computer experts, writers and others -- each person is amazing in her own right, and I'm grateful that she has taken time to serve on this Board.
