On this day, I reflect on my colleagues and friends at Paine Intermediate, and find that I am beyond thankful for:
- A staff who is a family concerned about and genuinely caring for one another. A family who fulfills one another’s needs whether it be through prayers; Sinus medicine, requested AR books, the loss of a family member, mentoring/guiding the practice of others, or continuing to perfect your own practice.
- A staff who puts their best foot forward every day, all day, for your students and each other, even when you may not feel like it.
- A staff who can envision the possibilities!
- A staff who comes together as a team when the going gets tough, and even when it is not tough!
- A staff who can look back over the day, the week, the month, the school year with pride about a job well-done and the people in whose lives we made a difference.
- Our new teachers.....their exuberance, willingness to learn, their tenacity.
- Our veteran teachers....their willingness to learn and grow, to share, to become better throughout the years, to be constant beacons for why we do what we do in this business.
- Our support staff (custodians, aides, secretaries, nurse, courtyard monitor, lunch ladies, resource officer) who always say, “Yes!” to whatever we ask of them. They are the backbone of our whole operation!
- Our leaders, those steady and forward-thinking people, both past and present, who encourage us and push us in our endeavors, never wavering in their belief that we can go higher, longer and stronger to achieve the best for ourselves and our students at all times.
I hope you all have a wonderful day with family and friends! Thank you for enriching my life!
Kristi
