And so

And so the break ends and the work begins tomorrow.

I've been working the last few days to get my room ready. Encouraged/inspired by Seckinger & Drayton, I've been purging my classroom of things I haven't used in quite a while and don't need anymore. Looking at my class rosters for fall, I'm going to have at least 30-31 in all four classes, so I've got to make room for all those desks.

My Macon meeting on Monday (gotta love alliteration) was GREAT. The trip over and back was uneventful...just a few rain drops here and there.

Life in general is good. Changes abound as always, but you gotta roll with the punches. 2008-09 looks to be a different year, but a good one. This will be the first time in 10 years that I haven't had a journalism-type class.

As with everything there will be some adjustments/some getting used to, but it will be a good year. I'm hopefully optimistic and excited about the direction God is leading. I am eagerly awaiting everything He has in store.

Pray for me. Pray for ECHS. Pray for every teacher, staff member, administrator, and student. I realize that ECHS is not a perfect school, but it is a very special place with a lot of special folks. We endeavor to do the best we can with what we have. Invariably, some things will happen that we don't all necessarily agree with or we have to do things that may not be popular, but we try our best to provide the best possible education and haven for everyone.

I'm back in school mode! If you're headed back to ECHS on Aug 6, I'll see you (and talk to you via announcements) soon!

GO REBELS!
