Educators with PRIDE Unite

[sis]

....... yuppers, I'm starting back to work today. I changed grades (First to Fourth - I'm exchanging wiping tears and noses to guiding kids through pre-teen angst), changed buildings (massive overhaul at my school of 3500 students that ended up with only ONE teacher not changing their physical space), have been asked twice if I know anyhow who wants a teaching position (three folks have decided to NOT return but didn't give notice until they received their bonus on August 10th), and facing meeting a lot of 'new' teachers ('new' to the profession and/or 'new' to Asia). Not the most typical start to a school but a year that I believe will be good for me.

I'm a different 'me' than I was last year at this time.

I'm grateful for the journey I'm having.

Hope all of us at BFP have a great year!
