There is something very precious about the end to the school year. My pigeon hole has been constantly refilled with little gifts and cards with beautiful expressions of appreciation for the way I have blessed others through the year. There are class parties throughout the school. We enjoy a whole-school assembly, reminiscing about the joys and highlights of the year. We farewell people (OK, not so fun!). When I told the Year 6's that I would have the privilege of working with them a little again next year they were as excited as I was. They are so incredibly precious and they've grown so much. We all have.
Today, with no students remaining the staff spent time packing up and have enjoyed a final meal together. I am again reminded that I work with the most amazing and beautiful people. And I wondered today, why it is that we wait until the end of the year to express our feelings for one another, appreciating the time, talents, gifts and blessings that others pour out on us and our school community. I don't usually make resolutions for the new year, but I think it a worthy pursuit to encourage others throughout the year. Don't you agree?
As much as I need a break and I'm quite ready to rest I can't wait to return to Work Break and catch up with my colleague-friends.
