Two Weeks, But Who’s Counting


After a happy three day weekend, I head to school this morning aware that the busiest days of the year have arrived.  The year will end with our Middle School closing on June 6 and that seems both just around the corner and well outside of my reach.  The last weeks of school always feel this way, as we race to the finish line aware that each day brings a new, urgent tasks to complete.  

There’s final exams and projects to be given, collected, and then graded, a Field Day to celebrate, some final play performances to watch, a three day grade 8 trip to Boston to supervise, the retirement celebration of our administrative assistant to enjoy, not to mention report cards to review and complete…….the list seems to get longer as the days fly by and each day seems busier and more frantic than the last.  

It’s all racing up to the quiet of Summer, when my office can be cleared out and the pace of the days can meander.  Summer work sets us up for the start of school in September but in June those days seem far, far away and though my summer to-do list is long, it never feels as daunting as the days of May.
