Carson Elementary School

We just got back from the annual Carson Community Dinner. A spaghetti meal with as many parents, kids and staff as we can find. It is held in the cafeteria and people and children are milling about, eating their pasta, smiling, chatting, laughing and just plain old ENJOYING this simple moment in time.
The choir sang … my heart grew at least 7 sizes. Smiling faces of elementary school kids, dressed up, singing in the round, singing their hearts out. It was better than any Broadway show I’ve seen. There were 3 young men, two 4^th graders and one 5^th, and they played the flute, clarinet and sax. There are no words for how cute this was and how hard these boys must have worked. Not to mention Angie Hanning, the music and drama teacher here. She is priceless and the amount of time she puts in with the children is great. Thank you Angie.
We had to say good bye to our principal Gwen Gethers… after 30 years with DPS. Gwen will be nearly impossible to replace. It was one of those nights, one of those moments you have… when you «get» just how very lucky and thankful you are. This school has given us so much. A wonderful, safe, creative, education and sense of community beaming with integrity and respect.
