We are so excited to begin a new tradition at our school! Starting this month, we will honor each child’s birthday by conducting a birthday ceremony with parents in attendance at either morning or afternoon snack. The ceremony will include a beautiful verse, a special time to light a candle for each of the child’s years, and a time for parents to share a milestone for each year.
We all struggle as parents, and now as a school, to find a way to deeply honor each year of a child’s life. Things have become very big–big parties, big cakes, lots of noise and hooplah. Some children (and parents) find it very overwhelming. So, several times each month, in a quiet way, we will find time as a school to honor the life of very special child…
Sarah made an amazing birthday kit for us to use, including a handmade cape and hat!
With a birthday coming very soon, Miss Tabi was our first celebrant! (Happy Birthday Tabi, thank you for all that you do, and for gracing us with your kind spirit!)
