Cause for Celebration

posted Monday August 20th, 2012

I just got an email from the new principal at Sophie’s school, entitled “Guess What???”

UGH. I can guess A LOT. Turns out, it wasn’t one of those emails.

Inside it said:

I am in the process of reading all of the…children’s IEP’s and you won’t believe what I discovered! Sophie and I share the same birthday!!!! I can’t wait to tell her! I’m sure we will have a small party, right?

I started to cry. Really. Like, I had to wipe away tears.

He’s reading all the kids’ IEPs AND he’s a guy who “gets” birthdays? It doesn’t get better than that. Totally made my day.

And now I better go — I have a party to plan. Mark your calendars, folks: May 21.

    I love that in a principal. People that share things like this make me strive to be an even better principal.
