Recently, I have decided that I can make some simple changes to help our environment. Nothing earth shattering, nothing that I really even have to think that much about, but every little bit helps, right? We have replaced many of our light bulbs with the ugly curly ones, I bought the kids all their own reusable water bottle and I am switching to reusable grocery bags. I really like the bags they hold much more and are easy to carry, I just have to remember to take them in the store! So, what easy things do you do to make our world better?
Last night we had our annual teacher appreciation dinner at church. It was such a nice evening. The program included good speakers, a cute poem, and 3 musical numbers, and the sweetest prayers by 2 primary children. The primary sang "I am a Child of God" and the youth sang "We'll bring the world his truth." We had around 40 teachers attend which is twice as many as we have ever had before. The boys teachers were unable to attend, but Paige had 2 teachers there and one of them was her gifted teacher who taught Bryce for several years and was happy to claim him for the night. I am so grateful for the wonderful teachers my kids have had. They have shown them love and understanding yet challenged them to push themselves harder than they thought they could. They do a job I just don't have the patience for and I hope that this special night showed them just a little bit about how much they are appreciated!
