So this came about when on an errand run, I dropped off my PRMS Trailblazers shirt at the school. I figure there might be someone like me who wants to wear the school clothes without spending too much money on them. This was my third (and hopefully final) time dropping clothing off!
I don't know the secretaries, but I saw Ryan Newell and had a great time catching up with him! In fact, as much as I am super glad I don't teach full time any more (and most especially in District 112), I really do miss some of the wonderful people I got to know in my eleven years there.
So I decided to look at the staff directory. There were 24 people I knew from my years there. Only a handful are people I used to be pretty close with, but I decided to write notes to all of them. I got most of them written while subbing Monday and Tuesday, and a few more waiting in the dentist's office Wednesday. I had originally planned to bring them with me to the lake to finish, but then I decided to just "Get 'R Done!"
After my root canal, I drove to my son's house and dropped off some stuff, visited with my daughter-in-law a bit, and got the clean lake laundry. Then I drove to PRMS and sat in the parking lot to finish writing notes. When I was done, I went into the office and explained my idea. I borrowed the secretary's stapler and attached a Gummy Bears or fruit snacks to each note (and left some for her and her co-worker in the office), then went grocery shopping.
I didn't take a picture of the notes, but here's a shot from a few summers ago when Joshua and I got to visit another former PRMS friend, Kerri Shaughnessy. I have been so blessed by so many excellent teacher colleagues over the years! That makes me want to reach out to Mary Verbick . . .
