The Last Day of School

I can't believe an entire school year has come and gone! It feels like we just left our friends in FL and moved to TX. And yet, today was the last day of school!

How do you summarize a year?

There were meetings. Lots of meetings! And programs, and trips, and emails, and phone calls. There was curriculum, and professional development, and mentoring. There was laughter, and frustration, and exhaustion. There were successes as well as mistakes. There was learning and discovery, courage and fear. There was a never-ending desire to make things better, and still there was pride in the good things being done. There were days that everything went right, and days when nothing seemed to go as planned. There was rarely a quiet moment, and never any boredom. There was almost never energy at the end of the day to update this blog. There were 265 beautiful kids and their amazing teachers who made each day inspiring and meaningful. And there was a loving and supportive wife who helped me every step of the way.
