HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

Mother's Day in the Dominican Republic usually falls a couple of weeks after Mother's Day in the states. So yesterday we celebrated all the moms. Friday at the end of the school day we had a special presentation for all of our moms. A couple of the classes joined forces to sing a special Mother's Day song. Each child had a flower and a card to present to his/her mom. A couple of the moms shared what challenges and unique blessings come with being a mom to a kid with special needs. There weren't many dry eyes when they finished! After the moms ate lunch we took family photos to be able to present the moms with new photos at a later date!
