Welcome to Back to School season! This year we had a pretty staggered start to the school year. E started yesterday, R started last week, and L started a few days before that. I did not start at all, however I did celebrate my one year anniversary at the Howe Library yesterday.

I’ve been missing the drama of the start of school a little bit. Not the stress that goes along with the drama, but a school is such a big, strong community and over the years you build your place within it. When you leave, the community goes on. Obviously. This year there is drama at the district level and a mold contamination in my (old) building that’s required multiple classrooms to move, multiple grades to start a week later, and teachers are scrambling. I hear there’s a class room stationed in the library. I miss the drama, but also happy I’m not in it. Weird how two things can be true at once.

Anyway, the kids are all back at school and doing well. <3
