Oh the Places they will go! Mudpies enjoyed celebrating their 2026 graduating class the first week of June. This time of year, brings so many big feelings for us as educators. Many of these kiddos have been with us since they were infants, that’s roughly 11,000 hours, 1300 days, 260 weeks of time we have spent with them. To think that they will soon walk out our door is heartbreaking and exciting all at the same time. This class is particularly special to me, as I started my career with Mudpies the same year many of them did as well. We have grown together in so many ways! Our celebration was unfortunately forced to pivot due to the rain, but we did not let that spoil the celebration! It was such a joy to honor each and every one of this year’s graduating class. We appreciate the opportunity these families have given us to be such a large part of their family- it truly is a blessing.
