Leaving the school Wednesday was one of the hardest things we could do. As the time drew near for our departure, there were final letters passed, parting photos snapped, hugs exchanged. We cried, the kids cried, it was really sad. As we walked away from the school, and the kids called "I love you, teacher!" from the top of the swing structure one last time, we weren't sure how we'd be able to go.
