It happens every year. I turn around and that snaggle-toothed second grader has morphed into an eighth grader looking down at me as he is about to graduate from Woodland and head out into the land of high school and beyond. As I prepare transcripts for our graduating class, it is pure joy to look at the photos on their original applications—so many of them started out at Woodland in Pre-K or Junior K—and as I look at the Class of 2011, I can see traces of those baby faces even now. It’s good to feel a part of their journey, and, like when my own children set out on their own, I feel sadness but also a great sense of excitement for them. I know you parents feel like you blinked and your kids were grown! But let me encourage you: every part of your child’s growing up is filled with blessing and wonder. Enjoy every minute. Congratulations to the Class of 2011!
