A letter from Ben's teacher:

Ben and Family -
I have loved every minute of volunteering in Ben's classroom. I have never met (in my 28 years of teaching) a little boy that loves his family and they love him. Ben is the most animated child we have. When he starts with that energetic hand in the air - followed by mm...mmm.mmm... you know some endearing comment is going to come out. I shared with his Grandma that I also have never heard any child so excited to see his relatives. He gives us a weekly update with his visiting routine! All students love Ben. His never ending optimism and love of life attracts his peers and adults to love him. Ben has gone from - I can't do it to Maybe I can and doing it! He has touched many adult and children's lives with that glowing personality. Good luck in Kindergarten!
