My school surprised me with an assembly today to wish me speedy recovery from my breast cancer surgeries. My favorite group of all time, the California Kids, sang me a song they had practiced. Then a student representative from each grade level said some words about their well wishes for me. The third graders presented, "The Top Five Things We Will Miss About Mrs. Steffes" and a fifth grader, Monica, read me a poem she wrote. Then six pink balloons were released in my honor (in the gym because we are environmentally conscious!). Kids hugged on me and teachers wished me well. It was a total surprise and I loved it!
Oh so sweet Terri, you are loved!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely expression of support and love, Terri! Wow!

That speaks volumes about how much you are loved and respected by teachers and students alike. May God bless you Terri.

ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful sweetness Terri.
ReplyDeleteKeeping you in my prayers for a speedy recovery!
You are so special to so many people Terri!! Thinking about you today!!
ReplyDeleteI can very well imagine how you felt with this outpouring of love and concern! Just reading about it and I have tears in my eyes!! My thoughts and prayers continue for you my friend. xoxo
ReplyDeleteWow, I think that says so much. They really, really adore you!!
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say that hasn't been said already...It's all about love.
ReplyDeleteThey really love you!
With all of that support and then
all of the blogosphere behind you
you will be better than fine.
Take it easy for as long as you
need to.
I have had way too many surgeries
and the one thing I get wrong...
every time...is to rush back to
my responsibilities. Please take
your time. Be well healed before
you hurry back to work and school.
