736. Sturdy warm schools that offer children a safe place to learn. Tonight we went and said goodbye to Ava's old school - the new school is done and ready to be filled with sweet kiddos! I know buildings are inanimate objects - but still sort of sad to say goodbye to a fixture that's been standing for years - where so many memories were made, so many children learned to read - and where Ava had her very first day of school. But onto a new bright place and we are so thankful for that! 737. The opportunity to paint on walls! Who wouldn't love that! Ava's class painted a mural of the sea! Here she is showing off her fish:-) 738. Our very own brick! The girls got to decorate a brick in the cafeteria for our family:-) 739. That we live in America where education is free and everyone is given an opportunity to learn and carve a path for themselves.
