7 Teachers At One Elementary School In Kansas Were All Pregnant At The Same Time

One pregnancy is rightfully viewed as a miracle. So what is it called when seven pregnancies are occurring? At one Kansas elementary scale, this multiplied miracle scenario occurred. It was something that shocked the staff in the best way possible and perhaps showed that the school had been blessed in a magical way.

Oak Street Elementary School is in the small town of Goddard, Kansas. The staff of 15 teachers saw some serious shakeup when it was revealed that seven of them, nearly half, were pregnant. Ashley Miller, the principal, said she was in absolute disbelief about the news.

Even with two decades of educational leadership under her belt, she had never witnessed anything quite like this. It was as though there had been some kind of plan put in place by all these teachers. As it turns out, there was just some remarkably good timing going on.

Though all these pregnancies have caused some complications in staffing, requiring substitutes to be called in, it hasn't completely thrown the school for a loop.

It helps that they have different due dates, so not all the expectant teachers will be on maternity leave at once.

They're lucky to be working for a school that cares about its teachers and wants to support them as they bring new life into the world.

There are compelling stories to be found behind each of these pregnancies, from a 4th-grade teacher who's bringing twins into the world to a kindergarten teacher and mother of two who learned about her happy surprise just as she noticed her colleagues getting pregnant.

Miller says there have been plenty of jokes about there being something strange in the water to have caused all these pregnancies, but sometimes reality can be one of the strangest things we'll ever encounter.

Two of the mothers have given birth, and they're all due by October. We hope they all have plenty of time to rest and bond with their little ones.

We also hope that the people at the school and around town never forget about this one-in-a-million miracle occurring and how much we should cherish mothers.

It's not every day that you hear about a school having two pregnant faculty members, let alone seven. The joy coming from these women is wonderful and we wish them the best with whatever motherhood provides. Show this anyone you know who loves hearing stories about pregnancy.
