no thoughts except PTA mama!katniss who carries around a (comically large, in comparison to herself) backpack so she can keep snacks and juice boxes for the kids - as well as a first aid kit, of course, because you know she’s super attentive like that. the little ones trust her implicitly and peeta jokes that everytime he sees her volunteering she has a random kid stuck to her hip.
Mrs. M who always has delicious baked goods and always tends scrapes and bumps so tenderly, and who always has interesting facts about nature, and who sings like an angel … children ADORE her, regardless of what parents might think, and her scars and sometimes sad eyes never unnerves them, because who could be unnerved by the lady in the red dress with the long braid who always smells of cinnamon and pine, and who gives the best hugs?
