Rainbow Connection
Why are there so many
Songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side
Rainbow's are visions
They're only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told and some chose to
Believe it
But i know they're wrong wait and see
Someday we'll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me.....
This is the first verse from one of my favorite songs and Kermit the Frog sings it! I am sure many of you know the song- but what does it really mean? To me it is talking about connections we make in the world. How many of the connections are just illusions and not real. It is a song about hope and peace and anyway- rainbows make me happy. Well this week our school welcomes back 1000 students. I am the 8th grade principal this year, so I have had my darlings for two years now and have some very strong connections to them. I look forward to seeing them on Tuesday and how much they have matured and are ready for their 8th grade year. Tomorrow we welcome over 300 6th graders at Ranger Round Up. I look forward to the new connections I will make with these students and parents. So in honor of "Rainbow Connections" I have been wanting to bake a rainbow cake. There are two types of rainbow cakes recipes going around the Internet. There is the one with 6 layers- way too complicated for me and my simple butter cooking. I chose to make the two layer one with 4 colors. So much fun and Kirk and Connor loved it! To all my teacher friends out there- I hope you make that Rainbow Connection this year to that student that needs it the most. After all - isn't that why we went into education!
