2007 is over

What a year. So many things have happened both personally and professionally, it's hard to think about them all, let alone list them here in this blog. That said, there are some things I am really thankful for, and with this the holiday season, it's good to reflect back.

Most notable in my thankfulnesses is the staff both at Outlook and through Sunnyside. I came from a very supportive staff, and a community I knew and loved. I didn't think about how important that was until I left. I figured replacing that kind of relationship would be difficult.

I've been pleasantly surprised.

The staff I have the privilege of working with are caring individuals and ones that work hard and believe that kids can learn. I'm blessed to work for a leader who has vision and a commitment and compassion to do what is best, and who isn't afraid to take chances. I am so thankful for my fellow principal colleagues as well who work together to solve tough situations while still keeping a good sense of humor and who want the best for kids.

So here it is, Christmas night. I'm blogging on my daughter's bed as she colors with her new crayons she got from Santa.

We are so blessed. Merry Christmas!
