You go to such an awesome school! Today, like every year about this time, you and all the kids in the whole school, walk a set route around the neighborhood of your school (and the school that is nearby) and you pick up trash. It was fun to watch how your friends so quickly developed a real eye for and commitment to finding and picking up ALL the trash along the route. You were excited about more exotic findings like lip gloss or lighters, you fought bushes, thorns, porches, and dirt to excavate varied pieces of trash, and you left the world much more beautiful than you found it!! We finished up, gave back the gloves and trash bags and headed to the car to go to your well visit doctor’s appointment – on the way to the car, you kept right on picking up more (even without anywhere to put it). So grateful for your school and for the wonderful human being you are becoming!!

Love you! -Mama
