So, to add to the magic of this whole event, my husband posted this beautiful post to social media, and I obviously... did not know how to act. 😩I love that he wrote this and love even more that he feels this way about me, it makes me feel all warm & gooey. 😍I have a super hard time reading or hearing nice things about me. Generally, I don't know what my body & face are supposed to do as a response. So in my past, people have asked me if I was excited, probably because of my lack of a proper response 😂. In some of those cases, I'd be excited but frozen. I do my job, the best that I possibly can and it's amazing to be acknowledged for it -- but there is sooooo much work to do and while this promotion is well-deserved, congratulatory and ALL of that. My thoughts are still sometimes inundated with the task at hand. How will I produce results for the freshman class? How strong & impactful will my relationships with students & parents be? How will I help to drive results through the teachers on my team by way of academic achievement, positive student culture & positive staff culture. God is on my side, and with that hopefully it is in his will to guide me to lead a class that maintains an average GPA of 3.0, grows 3 points on their interim ACT tests, beats the state on their PARCC exams, have low rates of suspension, and maintain a high percentage of attendance - 98%. I'm thinking that every freshman teacher will take both the Math & English PARCC, and ALL of the practice interims in completion. #Is That Too Much? 😂😩I mean -- I'm going to.
