Today I spent the morning at the high school, in the book depository, helping to hand out textbooks. It is one of my favorite things to do as a volunteer at school. I got to see three periods of classes today, with more to come as I spend Wednesday and Friday there too.
The kids just really crack me up. Some of it is first day jitters. Others are dealing with picture day nerves. (Yes, our school does school pictures in the FIRST day back!) Some kids are just happy to be back in a routine, with new clothes, seeing old friends again, and getting closer to graduation. And some darling kids are new transfers--the cute new boy from Florida, was one of my favorites--and one was an exchange student with the most delightful German accent! They just make me smile.
Add to the cuteness factor of back to school time, I adore seeing the kids from our stake as they line up and come to the window to check out their books. I love seeing them, calling them by name and giving them a big smile and some a little teasing before handing over their books. This is especially fun, if they don't see me until I call them by name. Ahh, I love that.
It is just one of the joys of volunteering at the schools. I love my job.
