Another school year is coming to an end. Today was crazy! Our schedule has been rearranged to accommodate the older classes testing needs. We are practicing for our end of year Kindergarten program, and most things are just a bit out of whack and the kids are feeling it and are very end of the year crazy! And I ask myself, do I want to come back next year? Our school, along with many others in town, have lost their Title One status. The high cost of living in St. George has driven up the rents so much that many people of lower income have had to leave the area and that makes us lose the extra funding you get when you have low income/at risk kids attending your school. So my job will take a hit. It will either go away altogether, or next year I will be a shared para between two classes.
A teacher takes a hand, opens a mind, touches a heart, and shapes a future!
I have enjoyed being a partner in that process over the years. It's so fun to see kids from past years and feel that connection with them. Then to see them completely grown up is also a real joy!
