I will never forget my first experience at the Creek with someone actually bringing me a snack and asking how it was going and what I needed when I was just about to the point of exhaustion getting my room ready. I remember thinking - Oh my gosh! This school really cares about ME!
I know what it is like in the Front Office this week. Parents are enrolling. Most have just gotten their class assignments and all those that want a class change are calling. There are hundreds of decisions to be made. It is a madhouse up there! No Administrator has time to stop and check on how everyone is doing, but that is exactly what happens. I really do work in a magical place!

I agree with you dayle. I, too, remember my first year at Chets when Susan came by my classroom to offer a snack and a drink from the cart. I thought to myself, "Is she checking out my room to see if I have enough stuff up on my walls?" But no, in fact, our brief conversation made me laugh, relieved some of the stress I felt at that moment and was comforted by the idea that someone was looking out for me just in case I had passed out from exhaustion. Oh and by the way, I was told once that I needed to cover my walls in store bought posters but that was another state in another time. Needless to say, Cart Girl rocks!
