thank you

I just wanted to tell everyone thank you for all of the love and support you have given me during this transition time. What an emotional roller coaster but the positive energy everyone has exuded made it much "easier". Thank you so much for the thoughtful gifts and cards, it means so much because they clearly had such personal thought behind them.

I am so blessed to have gotten the chance to have you all in my life. Please keep in touch and I will certainly be keeping tabs on my students. :)

Best Wishes!

...there aren't words

There really aren't any words that I have right now to express the range of emotions that I am experiencing.

There is no part of my day that was easy today. It was absolutely the most emotionally draining day I have had in a very long time. I am sitting at my computer trying to think of the words I want to use but they really aren't coming to me.

The promotion I have received is truly an honor but it doesn't make my leaving any easier. I am touched by the well wishes I have received from parents, students, and staff. It will not be easy to leave my students or my PLE family next week.

Please know that my decision did not come easy and that this transition will be a smooth one. We are working diligently to ensure that the changes in the classroom are minimal and that students will continue with the routines and expectations that have become accustomed to.
