Donna (left), Evan (center), Principal, Christina Teisch (right), St. Thomas the Apostle School, W. Hempstead, NY. Many thanks to grades K-4 and all the staff who made us feel SO welcome! We had a blast! Special thanks for all the effort and time put into the hall projects. Buddy Booby was VERY PROUD to be an honored guest (as were we)! Here's a poem, written by the school's 2nd grade teacher, Chrissy O'Toole, in Buddy's honor. We hope everyone enjoys it as much as we do! We are all beautiful, yes it’s true, even if my eyes are brown and yours are blue. We both have beauty, deep within, that has nothing to do with the look of our skin. I am loving and kind, and willing to share, You are caring and helpful, and never unfair. It is what’s inside of us that helps us to see, The beautiful things that make you and me! -Chrissy O'Toole |
