I have also finished up my final days at my current school. I believe this may have been one of the hardest things I have done as an adult. I left my "home," the school that taught me to read and write, to play sports, how to deal with friends and family, and finally how to teach. I had a very hard day leaving this "family" that I have been a part of for nearly 20 years. But, over the past 48 hours I have seen things take place in this school that lead me to believe that I am so much better off with out it. We lost 12 out of 22 certified staff member this year. There is over 135 years of teaching experience leaving our children. It saddens me to the core, the way that these people who have given so much of themselves to the children of this community are being treated. Today, the administration fired our secretary, who was the heart and soul of our school. I am sadden and ashamed that I ever defended anyone that could make such a terrible decision. This wonderful women, a single mother no the less, was fired in my opinion because she knew what she was doing and the principal doesn't have a clue what is going on, ever. So if you have any say in this community, I think it is time someone steps up and asks "What in the HELL is going on here?" Our children deserve that much.
To all my fellow "FROGS," especially those who are stuck behind, I love you all and will miss you so much. Enjoy the pictures from the "FROG" party!
