Fan Club, Celebrations and Birthdays!
Thank you to everyone is working so hard on curriculum development and ensuring all teachers and students have the resources needed for next year. We know this is no easy feat and your commitment to our department and district is truly amazing!
Huge shout out to everyone supporting TWL and NTI work, but an extra round of applause for Vaughnette, Charlotte and Howell for their constant coordination and communication as well as Molly, Bridget, Sarah, Steve and many, many more who are working to shift this MASSIVE venture fully online. PS did you hear we have a super suite virtual conference platform and over 100 different learning sessions that will be offered.
All of you for answering texts, sending rapid fire info, reaching out when you need us, crying on our shoulders and letting us build you up and remind you of your awesomeness and then letting us cry on your shoulders and then building us back up to move us forward. You are what moves me through the meltdowns, the overwhelm, the intense anxiety, the complete and utter freak-fest that is often in my brain. You, each of you, are what makes up the water in my positivity bucket , thank you!
