The Walk

Tonight before I left school KK and I did the walk...the one we always take the night before Orientation to take care of all the "bits and pieces" that end up in strange places around the school. It's always funny to find a random chair or broom stuck in the strangest place. Tonight was different, I was pushing a stroller with my two year old in it. She only flipped out when we had to ride in the elevator. Even she knows that's an iffy experience! The hallways look amazing! My incredible teachers have outdone themselves creating the most welcoming environments for students. I lost count of the teachers I saw hours after the end of their paid work day attending to the finishing touches.  I am constantly reminded about how extraordinary this group of people are. Their dedication and talent amazes me. It was a walk to remember...

You are an inspiration to all of us. We all know that there is nothing that you would ask of us that you wouldn't do yourself.Thank you, thank you.

The halls have never been more inviting and exciting. I can't remember when I've seen more teachers working long hours. Passion and dedication oozes through the walls. How fortunate I feel to work at the Creek!

I'm glad you are blogging again. It's nice that you (and Miss Pat) keep the school open for us to get set up. Some teachers in other schools get locked out at 4:00. I couldn't imagine that.

You are right on all counts. The school looks great. There are teachers that are totally married to their craft (I plan to see Tracy again next June), and your baby-girl has awesome intuition, as the elevator is as evil as thing could be!

Peace,

I don't like the elevator either Avin! What did she think of our wild visitors everywhere throughout the school?

CCE always looks AMAZING, but this year KK, Nikki, Karen, teachers, custodians, and all others involved have really outdone themselves.

BTW, I've never been a fan of that elevator, but ya'll aren't making me feel better that my son (& I) will have to ride it for the next 6 weeks. If you hear yelling, please come get us!
