Happy Valentine's Day

It was a love-filled Valentine's Day at our school. Four of the ladies of the staff got Valentine's Day flowers today... including me! Two bouquets of roses were delivered to our morning staff meeting to our PreK/K and 1st-3rd grade teachers. One expected it. Her husband gives her flowers for everything. It's a sweet happy non-surprise for her each time the flowers arrive. But the other teacher was not expecting anything at all, so was caught completely off guard. It was so much fun to see her absolute surprise and delight. Our office manager received a small bouquet of tulips from one of the students and her mother.

I actually received two beautiful plants. A mini-rose bush from a colleague and his family and a pair of cyclamen from my sister and nephew. I, too, was surprised and delighted. I had not expected anything.

In addition to these sweet remembrances, one of the teachers brought in strawberry shortcake muffins for our morning meeting (oh, so delicious) and the Spanish classes made Valentine's Day cards for all the staff (in Spanish).

Hope it was as nice for others as it was for us!
