I hate change...
As we begin the last week of the 2009-2010 school year, I think about how much has changed, and how much is going to change as we head into the summer, then back into the next school year.
Patty, our superintendent, is leaving the district to join "the private sector". It's a great loss for the district, as she's been an AWESOME administrator, and has also been a great proponent of the media program (which went from THREE full-time media specialists in the district, to me being the last, and only at .5, but, nonetheless, the position is still there...).
John, our principal, is retiring after 33 years in the district. He's been principal at Kaposia for 13 years, and is the only school principal I've ever worked under. He hired me...he LISTENED to me when I talked about getting media out of the "prep lineup" (and...eight years later it happened!), and he's been a great proponent of the media program. He's been an AWESOME principal, and I'm REALLY going to miss him!
For the last few months, since finding out they were leaving, I've been in a weird "loop". I have all of these ideas and plans that I'd like to get integrated/launched for next year, but I don't have anyone to get "approval" from, or to even "bounce ideas off", because it's all a BIG question mark...
Here are a couple of photos from John's retirement party last week. Janet and I did a Jimbo and Tina Fae Bonker parody of "Feelings" (we changed it to "Leaving")... It was a HOOT, and we were very good...!!!
Apparently, I'm really ANGRY that he's leaving!
That's a LITTLE better...
Here's hoping YOU don't have a lot of change taking place in YOUR life (unless you LIKE it...)!!!
