It is so hard to believe that the school year is coming to an end. How quickly time seems to fly by sometimes. As a young mother, people will often tell us to "cherish these moments because they will be gone before you know it." While some moments seem to last an eternity (like those long sleepless nights of a newborn), others seem to be gone in a flash. And as our children get closer and closer to Kindergarten, we realize how true those words of wisdom truly are and a part of our souls inside of us mourns the fact that they are growing up all too fast.
With the close of the school year, we will be having our last MOPS meeting of the year. We will be celebrating this past year, the friendships that we have made, and the memories that we have shared. We will also be introduced to our new steering team for the 2010 - 2011 school year and will discuss our tentative plans for next year. And finally, we will do what we have always done best... EAT! We will be having a potluck cookout lunch together. Janis and Don Tarter will be providing the hot dogs and hamburgers, and the rest of us will be providing the buns and sides. Please remember to bring what you signed up to bring. If you didn't sign up for anything, you can bring some sort of side that will fit into the lunch theme. We will be eating at the end of the meeting instead of the beginning.
So come join us for our final meeting on Monday, May 24th from 9:00am - 11:00am in the Family Life Center of First Christian Church. Our preschool will no longer be in session that day, so those of you with preschoolers who would normally be in school during that time, you will need to bring them with you. The older children will be playing games in the gym. You won't want to miss it!
