Busy as a Bee

This morning I had a million and two things to do, when over the loud speaker the principal announced an impromptu meeting. He called the staff together to discuss what our plans were to send our thoughts and prayers to the family of our student who passed away. Instead of sending flowers, which die and fade away the staff wanted to put up a memorial of some kind or commemorate this student somehow. Plans were not finalized, but the consensus was that we wanted to do something special for this family. Plans for a couple of dinner fundraisers were discussed to help out with the financial burden. It was a sad way to start the day, but I am glad we could help the family out.

Even with this meeting, everything still got accomplished and it even was good to see the whole staff together. Sometimes it is easy to get busy and forget why you are actually doing what you are doing. It was good to stop for a minute and remember that as teachers we can make a difference. We must make a difference because none of us knows when life will be taken from us.
