This afternoon at school there was an announcement for staff about a short meeting after school. In my teaching career, spontaneous meetings after school are not good ones. And, it was clear that that was the case for the majority of us on staff. As I entered the library, speculations were flying. This time of year is when people start talking about switching schools or grade levels, so our minds were spinning. I could feel the tension in the room.
When our principal came in and said that we needed to wait for someone to arrive, we all looked at each other and made small talk. My thought was "That's just not right. You're torturing us!" I could tell that others were having the same thought. A few moments felt like forever.
So when the rest of the staff joined us they announced that our librarian has been nominated for Teacher of the Year. We were all excited, and I felt the emotion go from tense to joy! Everyone cheered for her!!! It was GREAT!
Ah..........what a joy to have a GOOD after-school meeting.
Afterward, I was walking with my principal and told her that that was just mean. She grinned. She said it was neat to have good news to report. I have to agree!
Life.
Is.
Good.
