After our fundraiser last year for the recycling bins, we had a windfall of funds that, with the blessing of the administration, was earmarked for the children to plant a tree. One year later the season was right and the stars aligned. The rain, however, did not let up. We pressed forward even so.
Each child lined up to offer a hearty dig into the earth to create a new resting spot for our little Japanese Maple.
We managed to dovetail the planting with the observance of Earth day. The whole thing was pretty much super awesome.
I remember declaring that I would not work at the French School this year. That was a vain thought indeed. As it turns out, I have continued to teach (albeit less), run an after-school program called Destination Imagination, and act as the school translator for all things into English. My greatest stress this year has arisen from these commitments but, as is often the case, they have also been the avenue for the most exhilarating highs.
