Principal Geoffroy's Moment of Joy

Two very similar yet separate moments of joy occurred for me this week, both on Wednesday as I was walking with students to their classes. As we were walking, the two students, both without a word, slipped their arm through mine and we walked arm in arm the rest of the way to their classes.

Both were small moments during an otherwise busy and stressful day and grounded me in what's important—the human connection and particularly connections and relationships with kids. During these times when it's easy to feel overwhelmed by all that we have going on in our lives, I wish you your own moments of joy and connection each and every day.
