We have 3 single session days left of the school year and as usual it is crazy. With graduation coming up on Tuesday, Jun 21st, I have had to put together, Graduation Awards Ceremony on June 14th, Graduation Ticket Lottery on June 15th, get teachers to send us fines to log into the computer, set up assigned seating for graduation and help teachers with grading. Yeah, pretty crazy.
The end of the school year also brings the end of having Bill Feldman being our principal. Donna Cardamone, Karen Muller and I took him out after school yesterday to the place we use to go to over the years for drinks and snacks. We were there for about 4 hours and had a great time together. Unfortunately, when we got to work today, he got an email from his wife with "Belated Anniversary Wishes." Oops, it was their anniversary yesterday. Many of us will miss him, whether it is as the prinicpal, co-worker, team player or friend. So on Monday the staff is having a party at a pub to say goodbye. I made a plaque for him from everyone with a saying about his leading by example. And I need to work on writing something to him personally from me. This is real hard for me, losing him, and getting a new principal and assistant principal that don't know a thing about middle school philosophy, teaching staff or student development.
Time will tell.
