Priceless

So I met with a representative from the moving company today. It was quite an eye-opener for me that I'm really moving in less than two weeks! I begin work exactly two weeks from today. This evening I spoke to Dr. Eagle, the outgoing principal. We talked about getting the office ready and a bit about the summer programs that are in progress or starting soon. One thing that excites me about SHS is the fact that there are some wonderful programs already in place. There's a reading intervention program and also a Science and Math Academy; both of which have already shown promising growth in student achievement. I love that! Can't wait to see these programs in action! A good bit of my remaining time in Huntsville will consist of meeting up with friends for lunch, dinner, happy hour, etc. Again bitter sweet. I have forged some wonderful relationships and I will truly miss my friends. They are like family to me! My intent is to visit and stay in touch with them. My daughter will be staying here to complete her senior year (more on that later!) so of course I will visit regularly. I just hope that we can really stay in touch. That seems easier said than done but surely Facebook, email, texting and such will make a difference! I hope so because good friends are priceless!
