Dear Reader,It's 5:20pm on June 22nd, our last day of school. Students have left. Many teachers are done. Me? My grades are all in and the textbooks are put away. I still have a few more little loose ends to tie up, but, I have no major responsibilities left in Room 203.
I've been reflecting a little bit here on a rainy, cold day in Reading, MA, north of Boston. Now, NOW I am ready for sun, heat and perhaps a sunset like the one above! A few days ago I was not; I think I was almost afraid to let my mind go there. NOT NOW! The work is done, the racing is over.
Students, THANK YOU for a fantastic year. I got to know over 100 new students and on the whole, you are a great group. Some memories..."Mrs. Fitz, WHY are THOSE windows open? It's frrrrreeeezing in here!" "3-2-1...we're on the air!" "Are you ready to do the dance? C'mon...gimme y=x! y=negative x..." "Jordan, are you in period 4? Period 5?!" Well, you remember it as well as I do!
As Rod Stewart writes in "Forever Young": "Here's hoping that I've served you well. For all the wisodm of a lifetime, no one can ever tell. But, whatever road you choose, I'm right behind you win or lose. Forever young. Forever young." It's how I feel students.
In closing, check this blog over the summer. I hope to do a few updates. Leave me some comments.And, please, please come visit me in September. Let me know how you're doing!
