A Happy Ending or Beginning?

Most of my family and friends know that this past year was difficult for me at work. I did not agree with the way many things were being handled and had conflicts with my boss. I learned to stay in my classroom and this year had been feeling better about things. You know what they say, "Ignorance is bliss!" This afternoon we received an email that we would have a faculty meeting today immediately after school that was called by the superintendent! We had no warning notice and we were all speculating what the meeting was about. The superintendent has been quite visible in our building this year and I was worried we may be getting a lecture on professionalism. I was pleasantly surprised to hear the superintendent thank us for our hard work and let us know that she was aware of problems or issues our building was having. She wanted us to know that as of Monday we will have a new person in our building working as a mentor that is there to help us feel more secure. Essentially she will be our new principal for a while. She recently retired from our alternative high school, is very energetic, and I am excited to work with her. If anyone could turn around our building it would be her! Can't wait to see what the year will bring!
