THE REJUVENATION PHASE
A New Hope
March is here. Spring break is in sight, and the light at the end of the tunnel is beginning to grow brighter. Very soon, teachers will be entering the Reflection Phase, and soon after that, a return to the Anticipation Phase. Where did the time go? Doesn't the beginning of the school year feel like yesterday? Just remember to breathe, and realize that you are on the verge of a tremendous accomplishment -- a completed school year!
