Last Day

Today is the last day of school. It's 6:30 and I'm getting ready to leave. I'm going to stop and get some coffee for my students. They've been bugging me all year and I invited them to come back today for coffee now that they graduated. It should be nice.

I'm going through wide range of emotion. I'm happy to be leaving given the hostile atmosphere that has been pervasive at Farragut these last few weeks. I'm incredibly sad since I will be saying goodbye to some amazing teachers who I consider good friends. I have already said goodbye to my students, especially the debate team. That was tough. I'm apprehensive because I don't yet know where I will be teaching in September.

This afternoo will be fun hanging out at the end of the year party and the year will officially end on a high note with the opening of the Intuit Teacher Fellowship art exhibit at Gallery 37. I'm really looking forward to that.
