Mountainside Finale
My baby graduated from 5th grade today. It is great to see our children progressing in life and doing so well, but is also sad to no longer have a child in Elementary School. The time has surely snuck by. I have had a hard couple of weeks as I have transitioned in many areas in my life. I have spent everyday for the last five years inside the walls of Mountainside. I have worked there,volunteered there, learned there and loved there. I am so sad that Mountainside is now a memory. I would love to be back as a teacher, but where my road leads, we will see. Thank you Mountianside and all the wonderful people that fill its walls. It truley was the greatest five years!

I am glad that your five years at Mountainside Elementary School have been so rewarding for you. The reason they have been so rewarding is that you care. It is relatively easy to care for our own. The true test of a Christ-like life is when we learn to care for others just the same. Family is a great training ground for learning to care. School is an ideal place to learn to extend our circles of love to others, all of whom are God's children. Truly loving and caring for others energizes the mind and the soul. There are so many who need more love and care. Doing this work for the right reason, as you have done these past five years, purifies and ennobles our souls. Christ set the perfect example. He went about doing good, each day, because He loves us and cares for us. We should seek

Alison, you come as close to being this kind of person as any I know. I am so proud to count you as my daughter. I was only blessed with one daughter. I have sometimes thought, that maybe the reason was because there was no one else to compare. At least its so in my eyes.
Love you forever,
Dad
