How do you say goodbye to a special group of students that you've spent the last three years with? I'm not 100% sure, but I know this goodbye has been difficult for me. I remember with each week that passed by thinking, "One week has come and gone with my sweet babies." I'm totally guilty of attaching myself to this group, so much that I truly lost sleep over the thought of my last day with them. My eyes still fill up with tears thinking about our last goodbyes on Thursday. We share so many great memories, and I know they'll do a wonderful job in high school. I can't wait to see what the future holds for them.
Today we had our huge field day for the kids as a part of the Faubion Farewell. After graduation rehearsal, we all went home and came back up to the school for the graduation and 8th grade dance. I made it through the song--Praise the Lord...I tried so hard not to break while singing. We sang, Carrie Underwood's, Whenever you Remember. It's not one of her popular songs and I'm not sure why, but it's absolutely beautiful and a perfect way to say goodbye. The dance was so much fun...I loved dancing with the teachers and some of my female students.
