Their messages were definitely worth remembering.

Grade R wisdom

Big advice from small people

Help people.
Be kind.
Listen with your heart and your ears and your eyes.
Eat your vegetables.
Go to bed.
Don't be on your phone.
Use manners.
Look after mommy.

They reminded us that no matter what job they choose one day, being a good human will always be the most important career qualification!

We may have future doctors, teachers, firefighters, pilots, chefs and CEOs among us. For now, though, they're experts in being cute, enthusiastic and very serious about their career choices!
