My Sp. Ed. teaching job at the school is ended. I thanked my homeroom students for teaching me so much and welcoming me to the their Whitter family. I'm sure these 5th graders taught me more than I did them!
I played a few final pranks on students before my departure, partially to cover how misty I got on my way out the door.
When asked if I was coming back next year, I replied "Everything is a negotiation. We'll see."
The Mona Lisa was presented Wednesday afternoon while I was on the the PM Bus run. By the accounts of the teaching staff, she was a HUGE hit with Mrs. Borgmeyer during her retirement ceremony! Everyone else had a good laugh as well. The "Mr. Rhino Mystic" is forever carved into the history of this fine group of educators.
The District cancelled the actual last day of school. A beloved teacher, Mrs. O'Meara, passed away after a long painful fight with cancer. God rest her. In order to allow all those that knew her to attend her services, school was cancelled. Not for a stupid demonstration, as we have seen in other parts of the country, but for dignity and honor. Had it been otherwise, Tara Paul may well have had a mutiny on her hands!
The final, sultry Thursday PM bus route was executed with safety and dispatch, as we came smokin' back to the Transportation Department 14 minutes ahead of schedule! I got the ol' "Dust Buggy" all the way up to a howlin' 64 MPH at one point!
For once, I didn't have to monkey with locking any gates!
Bus two-three is swept, swamped, mopped, squeegeed and washed. Standing tall, ready for a new school year.
My Sweetie and I are both off for the month of June. I am ready for a break.
I predict Runza's, singing, visits with my nerdy model friends, Club meetings, TLAR molds and castings, sleeping past day-break and going to the head whenever I please or feel the need.
