Dr. Suess said,
“Today was good, today was fun, tomorrow is another one.” With fond memories in my heart and more
than a few tears in my eyes, I announce that I am leaving Meadow Wood to teach
1st grade at Hunter’s Creek.
Looking back at my blog, I realized, by coincidence, I named
it exactly what I wanted to show…Johnson’s Journey. The last 6 years have been an amazing journey
filled with incredible friends, creative colleagues, and most of all lots of
hard work that has shown its rewards over and over in the faces of the kids I
have had the privilege to guide. This
journey for me was a secondary plan in life, but after stepping into the role
of teacher, I quickly learned it was the only place I wanted to be. So today, as I look to the fun that tomorrow
will bring, I would be remiss to not think back about the “where” I have
come.
My husband and I put our kids in Meadow Wood 19 years ago,
after buying a home in Nottingham Forest.
We fell in love with the special school that sat on Memorial and
continued to support it even when we had a gap when a Johnson was not
attending. I held tons of positions on
the PTA, served on THE CAT team as a community member, and then began to sub
and eventually teach. In the years here,
I have seen 4 principals, great teachers perfect their craft, lost an amazing
friend and teacher to cancer, and seen kids grow into responsible adults. What a JOURNEY!
My mom always said, change is a part of life. For me this is always a difficult. I am the person that puts her furniture in
one location and doesn’t change it – ever! I thank you for the support and belief you
have by entrusting your kids with me. As
my journey takes a turn, I will look back fondly on the road that MWE paved in
my heart, and look forward with excitement at the road ahead! Please continue to follow my journey at www. johnsonsjournycontinues.blogspot.com.
