5 things that I am grateful for...
Number 1: The big toothy grins of children (my own included!) There is nothing like those beaming smiles when they are telling you about a lost tooth, a soccer goal, or a silly sibling story to lift your spirits. You can't help but smile when you are surrounded by those little faces.
Number 2: The teachers at Memorial School. They are the MOST supportive group of co-workers one could ever hope for. Personally and professionally there are the cream of the crop.
Number 3: The little town of Medfield, a town I had never heard of until I sent in my resume 11 years ago. I remember thinking, where the heck am I, as I drove past horse farms on the way to my interview. Little did I know then what a gem of a town I had luckily stumbled upon.
Number 4: Parents; past and present! Whether you are volunteering, sending in wish list supplies, or responding to an email with kind and supportive words you are the best! I have encountered many families since I began working here at Memorial school and I have been lucky enough to form lasting bonds with so many of them.
Number 5: My decision to become a teacher. I was lucky enough to know early on what I wanted to do in life. I was luckier even still to have the means to reach those goals. Some people dread going to work....not me! Even on the most challenging of days (and there are certainly a few) I am grateful for the oppurtunity I have been given to help form the little minds that I have been charged with. In the words of Mrs. Trasher, how lucky am I.
Have a wonderful long weekend!! Enjoy your time and prioritize :)
