We like our Mike, and this is why...

Mike.

He is Avalon's K-1 teacher. Not Mr. Mike, Mike. He is the absolute perfect teacher for Avalon and here's why:

1. He's Waldorf trained.
2. He's totally chill, ya know, like Avalon chill.
3. Avalon spoke to him for 5 minutes and then leaned over to whisper, "I really like him!"
4. He uses a harmonica to call the kids in from recess instead of a whistle because it's gentler.
5. He bought all the kids school supplies with his own money because, "we're a family group and we share our classroom supplies."
6. When Avalon asked her one question, "Do we get to paint?" he replied, "You can paint every day at choice time if you want to."
7. He has a teenage son and is a Kindergarten teacher and is still relaxed with relatively few gray hairs.

School starts tomorrow!
