(That’s an intentionally missing ‘h’.)
EDIT: I batch-wrote these posts before Dad fell, so if I seem a little cavalier, remember that Lauren of the Past was the author.
I like our school. There are good things about it and, of course, there are things that need to improve. We were discovering that new staff – and even parents – were having trouble finding classrooms if you just said ‘Mrs. Sommerer’s room’, if they didn’t know who the teacher was. So, we wanted to name them.
Wait. I’ve told this story before. Let’s take a minute and go back in time:
Click HERE, then come back.
Since that time, we have added a morning-only preschool class that meets in the Birch room (the kindergarten/1st grade afterschool program). The teacher in that room wanted to have a separate tree name for her class, but the problem was, when we told a new staff person to go the Magnolia classroom, that word wasn’t anywhere.
It happened enough times that I just bought some new lettering. I was going to take the old letters off, get everything centered just right, and it would be lovely.
I started with the ‘H’ in BIRCH.
DANG IT!!!!!!! It’s not like I was careless, either. I worked very slowly but the paint just came along for the ride. I had several adrenaline-filled, stomach-churning moments trying to remember if we had enough paint that would match, and then I decided to Lauren it.
I put up the new words and used remnants of the unused ‘H’ to fix it. (My letter sizes were smaller with the new words, but I made it work.)
Good enough.
….. but it bugs me that it’s all off center.

I don’t think I see what you mean by “off center”. It looks great. Good job Laurening it!
