Community New Start - Pickle Elementary - My second visit Minimize

I went back the CNS to help out with the 2nd grade girls.  It was so fun to see the kids again; I didn’t expect them to remember me, but they did!  One little girl came running up and threw her arms around me!  They all were wanting attention, so there wasn’t a dull moment.  I brought a book with me to read – the after-school teachers have the harder work, I just get to come and play.  As I got ready to leave, they asked me – no, begged me – to come back.  I’m going to take some ‘girly’ things for them next time, and bring some clothes for the clothes closet.  I have been buying a couple of t-shirts on sale at Old Navy and I’ve asked my small group to consider helping me out with getting girls clothing for the closet at Old Navy.  I have a new family in the St. John neighborhood!

Isn't it awesome to feel so needed and useful to others. I used to teach in that vicinity and I cannot even begin to tell you how much this means to the kids. Yeah, sometimes they are rough around the edges, but it's amazing how a little attention can go a long way. Thanks so much for being a positive influence on our future!
