Aubree's ELT speech

Aubree was chosen at the end of the year to be one of the speakers for the ELT program. She did a fabulous job. She has a lot of charisma and is at lovely as they come. "Hello, boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, for those of you who don’t know me, my name is Aubree Farrell and I am a preschool E.L.T. The letters in E.L.T stand for: Educational Leader of Tomorrow. An E.L.T’s job is to help their assigned teacher in anyway they need it, and I’m sure they appreciate it. Being an E.L.T means a lot more than unstacking and stacking chairs, trust me. Being an E.L.T means being responsible, honest, patient, and trustworthy. Sometimes being an E.L.T is difficult, but once you see one smile on a single kid you know it’s all worth it. One of my favorite things about being an E.L.T is watching the students learn and grow. Some of the kids communicate more easily than others, but once they warm up to you it’s amazing how much they change. One day I was helping some of the preschoolers when one came up to me and said, ”Hey, I need to tell you something.” I simply responded, “What is it that you need to tell me?” He said, “My dad is picking me up today!” I loved the way he said it, along with his dazzling eyes, sparkling grin, and enthusiastic attitude. It was so excellent to know that the preschooler had warmed up to me. In conclusion, I’ve spent some of the best days of my life as an Altruria preschool E.L.T. I will never forget my incredible preschool E.L.T experience." 

Ginny went in her first out of town school trip and mom was worried like crazy but she is a bright lady and makes good choices. They went to St a Louis for three days. Honestly if I woykdvd read the laker closely and realized it was over night, I probably wouldn't have signed off on it.  Ginny was also recognized this year in band for her improvement. This is her first year in band, playing the flute. 
As for the boys, they are getting into sports and it's super cute. Neither of them are very good but it's fun to watch. Christopher chose soccer and Jake chose baseball. He has wanted to play baseball since he subbed one day last year.
