Today we teacher went back to school to meet and greet and work on our classrooms preparing ourselves for another fun-filled year surrounded by the growing minds of children. My principal Debbie Barnes and our 3rd Grade Teacher Gen Bentley found this great video to get our school year off to a positive start! Such a great message!

People. People important to you, people unimportant to you cross your life, touch it with love or carelessness and move on. There are people who leave you and you breathe a sigh of relief and wonder why you ever came into contact with them. There are people who leave you and you breathe a sigh of remorse and wonder why they had to go away and leave such a gaping hole. Children leave parents, parent leave friends. Acquaintances move on. Friends love and move on. You think of the many who have moved into your hazy memory. You look on those present and wonder.
I believe this is all part of a master plan. People move in and out of our lives, and each leaves his mark on the other. You find you are made up of bits and pieces of all who ever touched your life, and you are more because of it, and you would be less if they had not touched you.
So far this is who I know that I am...

I wanted to thank you for pointing the way to Angela Maeirs talk last week on Twitter! I found it to be very powerful and having been spreading the word. Posted about it too!
Have a wonderful school year!
