The day before school closed there was a moving on ceremony. Julia sat with her class the entire time and was quiet and acted appropriately. This is Beth who was Julia's teacher during second grade. Beth is the lead teacher so did not deal one-on-one with Julia all that much, but Julia has a great relationship with Beth. She knows that Beth is interested in what she will say, and seeks Beth out to tell her exciting things.
Friday, just before 9:15, and Cathy, our principal took to the steps and laughed at all of the parents lined up with cameras.
And then, the bell rang.
Julia was quite reluctant to leave the building. Funny how often she told me that she did not want to go to school. Just look at that face!
Julia stands with Sheila who has been her aide all year and some of last year. Sheila knows Julia as well as I do and takes care of her so well. Sheila will not be working next year and is planning to volunteer in Julia's new classroom to help her transition to Randall School.
And this is Ginny, Franklin's special ed teacher. She has done so much for Julia and Julia is going to really miss her.
Mary was Julia's aide last year. She is a retired teacher and has an incredible hearts for kids who have challenges. Her assignment this year was the other kid in Julia's class who is also on the spectrum. I really hope we can keep in touch.
The last bus pulled away from the curb. Teachers waved and blew bubbles. Then it was time for summer!
