I've thought a lot about this last blog post over the past few months. I've prayed that I would be able to find the right words to say to people who mean so much to me. As I was driving home from school the other day, I was reminded of the saying "All good things must come to an end". But for me, this school isn't just a good thing, it's the BEST thing.
So today I will say-THE BEST THING HAS COME TO AN END. With that said, I'm so thankful for the memories and all I've learned from this place. Thank YOU for being on this journey with me.

Yesterday, I was gifted the book "The boy, the mole, the fox and the horse" after meeting with the interim principal at Tremont Elementary School. I already have the book but she wanted me to take it anyway, when I got home, I opened the book to a random page and this is what it said.
"What do you think success is? " asked the boy "To love" said the mole. I smiled because, it's true and it's what we do here and what you will keep doing here at J.W. even after I go. My friend sent me a text a couple days ago with this video included. The words she wrote touched my heart-she said, "You need to watch this video because it reminder me of you and your staff!" So, I watched the video. PLEASE TAKE A LOOK---it's about 4 min and totally worth it. What I love most is that my friend (who does not have kids at JW) can tell by our posts and by the way I talk about this school and all of you that we all LOVE our kids, just the same way the teacher who the dad is referring to in the video. Each year in May, I find myself starting to reflect on the end of the school year. And, each year, I send the same message. Keep going until the very last day...our kids need us!
For many of our students, JW Reason is the best place! It's a fun place. It's a place full of friends and amazing adults who they love! So, while we are are VERY excited for our own summer breaks, let's remember that some of our students may not be. Let's remember that LOVE IS AN INTERVENTION now more than ever. So, keep loving them, helping them feel safe and letting them know that we love spending our days with them. |
