Even though my children are not in school yet, September always gives me that back-to-school feeling. Suddenly, summer is over and it is time to pull out the sweaters, and boots, and go shopping for fresh desk supplies. Teachers and students take center stage as class begins.
We all had teachers in our life that made a particular difference in our education. They seemed to care a little more, speak with more enthusiasm, saw something in us that the other teachers didn’t notice. They drew us out and helped us see the world a little differently. Mrs. Bott was just that teacher for me. Going to her class each day was like entering a special world. She decorated the classroom seasonally, played beautiful music, and even shared special treats with us on certain occasions. Most importantly, she was completely committed to her students, and she inspired us each day to enjoy learning. Even though she was our 7th grade English teacher, she found a way to be there on the day her “kids” graduated high school. If you are a teacher, I’m sending you a very special thank you this month for inspiring and educating our children. If you are a student, I wish you good luck, and hope you don’t have too many late nights of studying!
In honor of our new “semester,” the PMC is gearing up for our annual BBQ. We’ll be grilling up some good eats for you and your family as we bid farewell to summer with a big final cookout. We would love to see you at this wonderful event, so forget about making dinner and doing the dishes, and let us cook for you! We have several other great events lined up too, like the fieldtrip to Chileno Valley Ranch, and Safari West. We’ll also have a special presentation on disaster preparedness that you won’t want to miss. Please check our calendar to find the dates and times for all of our events.
