Jess and Jarrod

Noma sent me a little message last week saying that this was a  '...very sad day for me. I had to say goodbye to Jess, a friend and a learning partner to Jarrod. Jess is having a new baby in early August. We look forward to the surprise of hearing whether you have a boy or a girl! Jarrod had bonded with you deeply, and we will both miss you. Many thanks Jess.'

A day in the life....

I received a lovely email from Noma, our centre manager at Observatory the other day. 'Brave Hilary Hart-Mowzer insisted on going way beyond the call of duty today. One of the volunteers was not in, so she stepped in to help. As Hilary said to me "It's easy, unlike being a grade two teacher, who has 42 learners in her class."' 

Noma commented "I am so glad that I have such caring volunteers at my centre." Bravo Noma and Hilary!

 Hilary had a fun time with the children at the beginning of the session, 'wheelbarrowing' them to help with muscle tone and balance.
