Wordless Wednesday: Words of Hope
Hope Elementary School in the Carlsbad School District is close to my house and we often walk by.
School is coming to an end for Carlsbad students on June 11th and signs have started appearing in the front of the school to thank the teachers, etc. I thought the play on words of some of the signage, given the school name, was cool.
And this little poem a la Dr. Seuss was clever - a sign of the times!!
Nice to see some words of Hope these days!
They have been very creative with celebrations for graduation in lieu of traditional graduation ceremonies.
Jeff,
We can feel the pall lifting in the last few days...I saw people in the local IHOP. this morning. It was a nice sight...A
Hi Bob Crane
Thank you! It was fun to see them and no doubt the teachers and staff appreciate the well wishes. It's certanly not your typical end of the school year!

Hi Grant Schneider I think teaching the kids while at home can be a real challenge. I talked to my daughter (they have 8 and 6 year olds) and it's tough trying to work full time and still be able to help the kids with their Zoom meetings, projects, etc. And the kids miss seeing their friends. Tough on everyone.

I agree Nina Hollander
Sad but true in some cases Wayne Martin
That's a nice thought Michael Jacobs It's been tough to be a teacher, and perhaps even harder to continue teaching if you have young kids of your own at home!

It's the human spirit, isn't it, Jeff. We passed a car today with signs on it for their teacher. And throughout the neighborhoods, we've seen more signs as well.

Hi Brian England
It's certainly been a different world for the schools, teachers and staff, the students and their parents. It's nice to see the public appreciation. And there are lots of Congrats to Seniors signs.

Agreed Ron and Alexandra Seigel There are more people out, shops and restaurants are open and you can just feel the difference...a far cry from the ghost town when all this shutdown started.

Hi George Souto
That was one of the first signs that was put out...great message, right?
Jeff
Hi Kathy Streib
I can't imagine what it must be like for those who were graduating (elelmentary, middle school high school, and college) who could not celebrate in the way they expected. It's been fun to see all the signs everywhere...I've seen lots on cars here, too!

Great post, Jeff Dowler, CRS - I love that poem! I just feel so bad for the students who could not complete their school in the classroom. Sounds like Hope did just fine though!
Jeff, love that visible, verbal support for the teachers who so richly deserve it, while recognizing the need to focus on restoring normalcy in measured but consistent steps.
Jeff Dowler, CRS - Love this post! Let there be hope for the children! The Dr. Seuss sign was perfect! Those Teachers earned every single penny they earned and those kids deserve a zillion hugs and kisses. The signs were great and hopeful too! God bless the little children.
Love the closing poem a la Dr Seuss, very creative and good to see Hope elementary looking forward and changing with the times.
Hi Sheri Sperry - MCNE®
It's certainly been a tough school year for all. Not sure what's next yet.

Thank you Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP The poem was very clever.

Wonderful share Jeff, great sign "finds".
Hey, do you think Everything California is worth being a part of still, given the founder is long gone over 9 years from The Rain? Or any group where the founder is gone?
