Hi everyone,
Just a short reminder that the time for airing the KSMU interview this morning has been changed to 8:45 a.m. CT.
Yesterday I agreed to visit kids at Rountree Elementary in March. I do that school every year and am pleased to be invited.
I also accepted an invitation to speak at a teacher appreciation breakfast in another city in April. More about that later.
Today is my cousin’s 18th birthday. Happy birthday over there in Monett, Missouri, ALEXIS EGLESTON! I love you, sweetheart.
Hi everyone,
This afternoon I’ll pay a visit to Rountree Elementary School in Springfield and visit with the first grade children there. Teacher NICKI FOLTZ invited me back (from previous years) and I look forward to seeing this year’s students who are just starting their journey toward discovering their future. Nicki says the kids are getting into a writer/artist unit so I’m happy to be part of it.
Our family has a soft spot for Rountree. SANDY attended school there and later on daughter ROBIN also went there.
Every time I walk up the steps and enter the front hallway, I think of Sandy and Robin, when they were little girls, walking up those steps before me. And when I stand in front of a class of six-year-old children, I tell the kids about my family’s connection to their school. I’m not sure they understand what that means to me, but I do.
