What a wonderful night! Earlier in March, Mrs. Stowe and I planned a fun-filled get together. We called it our "Old & New Friends Get Together". It was a chance for us to get together with many of our previous students from the past 6 years. Our first class together, my first year teaching, was in 2006. The students that we had that year are now freshman in high school. Crazy, I know! We all met at Stevi B's Pizza. This night was a time for the families our students to meet each other and fellowship. It was so wonderful seeing everyone and catching up with those that we have not seen in a while. I think a great time was had by all!
Mrs. Stowe with Tradarius and Eric. Tradarius and Eric were two of my first students! They are men now!
Tony is in my class now. He brought his mom, dad, and brother. Jameer, one of my students last year, brought his whole family. Jameer and Tony were such great friends last year. It's great to see their friendship continue!
Lexi was one of my first students as well. She brought her mom and dad!
La'Shawn and Lucy have been great friends from the start. Lucy is one we watched (and helped) grow. I had her from Kindergarten to 3rd grade. La'Shawn and Lucy both left me this year and now attend another school. Thank goodness they are still in the same class and are obviously still best friends!
After eating lots of wonderful pizza, we played games! Tony loved skeeball!
La'Shawn played skeeball with his sweet sister, Laliyah. La'Shawn brought his entire family as well. So great to see all of them!
Eric and Mrs. Stowe playing air hockey!
Sweet Lexi-Poo!
Hey Eric! Eric is taller than me. He has such a sweet soul though. Love this kid!
Tradarius is one that will always have my heart. We had such a fun time when he was in my class! He was that one that would do anything for you. He is so grown and is now 16 years old! Oh my!
Some of our precious group! LOL @ Mr. Sterling!
Lucy playing air hockey with her Daddy! Lucy's mom came too. Such a wonderful family. So great to see them!
Mrs. Stowe, Mr. John, and Tradarius!
La'Shawn and I. This kid has a special place in my heart!
Lexi, Nelson, and I. Always having a good time!
All of these people mean so much to me. They have all had an impact on my road as a teacher. Thank you all for that! It was so wonderful seeing everyone and I look forward to another "Old & New Friends Get Together" very soon. In 20 years, we are going to have to find a bigger place to meet. Ha! Ha! Our "Malcom/ Stowe Family" is growing! Love you all!
