Kindness

The Health Office, where our faithful and intrepid Nurse resides during the school day, is right next to my office. So, there often is a procession of students making their way past my door to hers - where band-aids are available, ice packs are many, and general solace is in big supply. Trekking from halls away to health care central, these are brave little ones. Very recently I overheard a first grader say to her friend, whom she had kindly accompanied on the journey from their classroom. Don’t worry. I’ll wait until you’re fixed. So sweet.
