It was a beach party of surprises at school on Tuesday. My birthday started off with a wealth of warm wishes from staff & students. Little did I know . . . they had been planning and preparing while I was out of the building the week before. Even though it was damp and chilly outside ~ the climate inside was filled with giggles galore! I received numerous birthday greetings and cards throughout the day but nothing surprised me more than the gathering on students and staff in the Commons Area late in the afternoon. On a fetching story to judge skeletons in 5th grade - Alex, Dylan, and Kaylee pulled me from my office and kept me busy looking at their projects in the classroom. It wasn't long before EA Mrs. Kirsch needed my assistance immediately. We made our way down the hallway and she explained ~ in great detail ~ how I was needed to help with a student issue. My surprise was waiting as I opened the door and everyone began to sing "Happy Birthday" and passed around cupcakes. There was even a large cupcake just for me! They did it! They got me! WOW! I am so blessed to be able to come to a job that I love and work with such terrific students & staff. THANK-YOU SO MUCH!!
