park lane teachers
today all of the teachers in the broken arrow school district met at the new performing arts center for a back to school pep rally. the PAC is beautiful, and i'm pretty sure that showing off the new PAC was the goal of today's rally.
the pep rally was {to put it nicely} disappointing. the president of the broken arrow chamber of commerce got up in front of all the BA teachers and said the the chamber had no idea about the condition of some of the BA schools! he didn't know just how many portable buildings our district had! has the man had his head in hole for 20 years???
then there was some praising of SOME schools, not all, and a video which showcased SOME schools, not all. lots of us from park lane left there feeling less than motivated by that 1 1/2 hour performance! we even got to hear how it takes 3 people to be in charge of the PAC, but there isn't even enough money in the budget to hire teachers so our 4th grade teachers don't have to have 30 kids crammed into portables!!!
anyway........i really am looking forward to this school year. park lane is a wonderful school! i'm sad that it's my last year there, but i'm so thankful to God that he put me there these past 3 years.

So did you try to get a bluff in with the kids that you were cross-eyed?
I hope you (and all the other teachers) know that to your kids and parents, Park Lane is the best school in the district! I wouldn't want to be anywhere else!
