Four Feet of Smiles
DARRINGTON, Wash. l/PU-First
grade pupils in Miss Frieda Groen
veld’s class can look their teacher
squarely in the eyes. She is 4 feet
tall.
Being of a size with her pupils
bothers neither Miss Groenveld nor
the youngsters.
“Children need an answer,” she
says. “When you give it to them,
that’s all they need.”
This is her first time as a teach
er and Miss Groenveld admits
she had the usual opening-day jit
ters of the new schoolma'm.
One boy, clutching his mother’s
hand, looked the teacher in the
eyes and asked: “How come you
are so little?”
“I’m as big as you are,” said
the little teacher as the mother
blushed. “Aren’t we going to have
fun?”
Fun is one of the nice things
about being a first-grader here,
but there is always order and re
spect. When Miss Groenveld
mounts her kitchen stool — she
calls it “my throne’ — the class
falls silent. Darrington School Dis
trict officials believe they have
found themselves a gem in their
new teacher.
“I can really say that I’ve never
wished that I were tall,” says Miss
Groenveld.
“My parents always emphasized
that I would have to make my own
way without depending on people
feeling sorry for me.”
After graduation from Seattle
Pacific College she came to Dar
rington out of choice.
Throughout the school she is
known as “The Little Lady.” Pu
pils from the upper grades often
drop by to help her with physi
cal tasks, such as posting bulletin
board material.
“The thing that matters when
people look differently at you,’
she says, “is how you, yourself,
take it.
“If people are going to laugh,
I’ll laugh with them.”
