The lasting impression made by a teacher goes beyond the classroom, for year to come! This past week I was taken back to my 1st Grade year. Mrs. Betty Sample was my teacher and I do believe she was the first person to introduce me to the book, "The Polar Express." I vividly remember boxes decorated like train cars and enjoying hot cocoa and a small piece of chocolate one afternoon in our classroom while wearing our comfy pajamas! Oh and lets not forget the magical bell that we were given at the end of the day.
The Kindergarteners at Saddle Peak were invited to an evening at the school; watching The Polar Express and enjoying hot cocoa and popcorn.....oh and their very own conductor to punch their tickets!!

| A sea of kindergarteners for as far as the eye could see! |

The experience of watching a movie with a bunch of children, in a confined space, was a bit much for Dan and I. All of the children were overall, quite good, but every time one coughed, sneezed, or wheezed we would think to ourselves, "Oh there's the flu," "Yep, that was ebola (kidding)," "Pretty sure I was just infected with Hand/Foot/Mouth!" Blankets on dirty floors, runny noises and coughing were just a bit much for these OCD parents! But, we survived and then promptly washed all blankets and footed PJs that were worn to the school!!
