Spring Break

As a teacher, spring break is one of the best times of the year and a gift you receive as a teacher.  It's the time where you've had a long stretch of working hard since Christmas and trying to get in all the last standards you are expected to cover.  It's a time when students and staff are all stressed trying to fit everything in before the year wraps up.  It's the time that's really the calm before the storm, since when you return, students and teachers will feel the pressures of deadlines and testing mandates.  So if you're on spring break this week, I encourage you to take some time for yourself.  Relax.  Enjoy your family.  Remember what matters most and take a little time for yourself.
