For the past eleven years, I have loved going to work every morning. I have had the most awesome job I could ever have hoped for. I have had the pleasure of being the librarian at Acton Elementary School. It's the school where I taught my very first year (could that really have been 20 years ago??). I can't really imagine going to work anywhere else. However, this spring I was offered the opportunity to broaden my horizons & move to Acton Middle School. I love the principal there & already know many of the teachers, too. After much prayer & consideration, I accepted the challenge. I'm thinking that "shaking things up a little" will be good for me professionally. I love the technology aspect of my job & there are lots of possibilities on the horizon for utilizing that skill set. So....after all these years, I'll have another "first day of middle school" in August. I think I may be more nervous that day than I was when I was going as a student to middle school. The upside is that I will just be accompanying many of my 5th graders from last year....we'll all move up together.
I've spent a lot of time moving, organizing, cleaning out, painting, etc. Have had lots of help from friends with the process. It's starting to feel like home & I'm looking forward now to taking a little time away from school & enjoying the summer.
Here's to change...
Wish me luck!
