29. Let’s Reflect on the Year…

30. What does it really mean to be an educator now-a-days?

31. You have taught people what they needed to know . . . Sometimes whether they knew they needed to know it or not!!!

32. But as well as things went, I know there were days when you wondered . . . What have I gotten myself into?!!!

33. Sometimes the work was interesting . . .

34. But, sometimes the details were a little over peoples’ heads . . .

35. Sometimes you introduced things your staff were not quite ready for . . .

36. Or provided advice they weren’t quite ready to take. . .

37. With some groups you may even have felt uneasy . . .

38. Trapped . . .

39. Confused . . .

40. Underappreciated . . .

41. Or even a little lost . . .

42. But through it all…. You hung in there; you persevered.

43. Thanks for a great school year!!!!!

44. Year-Round Needs • Please stay if you have questions or needs that you would like addressed.
