Snow Days

2/18/2016

​There are few moments in my life these days when I can actually say I feel like a kid again.  And right up there with Christmas morning, are snow days.  It’s funny because I love school; I love everything about it.  But, the thrill of getting that early morning phone call telling me that school is cancelled just never gets old.  Yes, it’s true, principals work on snow days, but I still LOVE them. 
 
On Tuesday, I sat in my office during our first snow day of the school year.  I finished projects that I otherwise may not have gotten to until March or April.  I organized files.  I checked emails.  I read a few articles.  I answered phones.  And, still, I felt like a kid again. 
 
When I got home I was greeted with the excited squeals of my four kids as they held their hats and gloves and boots because they had waited for me to get home to go sledding.  I tossed my school bag on the floor and bundled up.  As I spent the afternoon sledding with my family, I forced myself to pause and take in the excitement of the day.

As the day came to an end, I was left with happy memories of an unexpected day off from my normal school day routine.  To my surprise, I was reminded that we all need to take time to play.  I remembered what it means to feel like a kid again.  I didn’t take myself too seriously.  And, most importantly, I slowed down and enjoyed the moments. 

Here is your staff update for February 19th.
