Celebration Time! Yeah!


I was driving this morning to a board meeting that was held an hour and half away.  Great music on radio. Beautiful sunshine outside. Smooth driving. Time to think and enjoy the morning.

A few hours later when I am driving back, I am filled with happiness and excitement. Our board meeting was encouraging, motivating, inspiring and thought provoking. Can't wait till it's conference time in October! This will be a great conference!

So today I am celebrating fellow educators who give up their Saturday morning to attend a board meeting! I am celebrating educators who care deeply about the ELLs in our state. I am celebrating ideas. I am celebrating research that many members do on their own, and the hours that they devote to make sure our annual conference is successful! This is group work as its best!

I am feeling energized! Perhaps this means that spring is finally here!
