From myself and the rest of the editors and employees here at The Mailbox, thanks for…
–Cleaning up some sick kid’s vomit when you came to school sick yourself
–Staying at school until 9:30 PM for that last parent-teacher conference
–Getting to school before 6:00 AM to prepare for a day of overseeing bubble-filling
–Being ready with that EpiPen
–Grading papers when other people are watching the new episode of “Mad Men”
–Coming up with something new and insightful to say on that report card
–Going on that field trip without enough chaperones
–Giving up your lunch so the student who forgot his wouldn’t be hungry
–Eating cafeteria food
–Standing in the rain waiting for the last student to be picked up
–Pretending you like all the “new” music as much as your students do
–Being a lion tamer
–Acting as the first responder for medical emergencies both physical and emotional
–Trusting The Mailbox to be your classroom sidekick
–Keeping at it even when not enough people are saying thanks
Enjoy your time off.
Happy Thanksgiving!
