An endearing
mother came into the Washington Elementary School office this afternoon to share an experience she had over
the weekend.
Every Friday,
students of Washington School wear their red Washington Patriot Spirit shirt. A
student happened to be wearing her red Washington Patriot shirt as she and her
family visited a local restaurant for dinner last Friday evening. While
enjoying a pleasant dinner, a man graciously walked over to their table and
placed a 5 dollar bill down, including the note below.
The mother
felt compelled to share the moment with the staff at Washington school to
remind us of the mutual appreciation that exists among members of our
community,society and the fervent patriotism of our wonderful country.
The portion
of the note that I found to be most vivid is the idea of the sacrifices made
for "the next generation." I believe everything we strive for in our
district and within the walls of Washington school is to endeavour to benefit
the lives of precious students and families we have the pleasure of serving.
Thank you.
