The school has a working farm, where the students raise a lot of the food served in the dining hall. There's a herd of sweet goats...
and the campus is so lovely and pastoral.
The place seems timeless and much loved.
Here's our girl, assessing her classroom space, thinking about how to make it her very own.
And here's the dresser she painted...
We spent some time putting furniture together, setting up her tiny kitchen and getting to know some of the super nice staff.
Last night, after I hugged her good-bye, I snapped this picture of the evening sunshine on the face of the Meeting House on campus. I was sad and proud and happy to leave her there....
Beautiful, bittersweet bounty for Mom.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a lovely school...very Quaker or even Shaker in aspect. I hope that Hannah will have a very good year there!
ReplyDeleteOh, Karen, this post brought up so many feelings for me. The school seems like a perfect fit for Hannah and I hope she loves teaching there. I do remember looking at my first classroom and planning how to make it wonderful. And, of course, I identify with you,Karen, as you send your daughter out to make her mark in the world.
ReplyDeleteLove to both of you,
Judy
Hugs to you on this bittersweet celebration. Another one launched to add to the good in the world - celebrating with you here!
