Principal Survival Kit

This was definitely the nicest "welcome-back-to-school" gift that I have ever received.  Actually, the entire staff received them, compliments of our wonderful school PAC.

It speaks to all of the wonderful parts of our work:

• the kids
• the creativity
• the fun
• the light-hearted moments
• the learning

Most of all, it was a wonderful reminder of the terrific place that I get to go to work to.  It might be my job, but it is also the place that I want to be every day.

A few of my favourite lines/items:

• Chewing gum to help you stick to it
• Eraser to remind you everyone makes mistakes
• Paperclips to hold it all together
• Rubber band to remind you to be flexible

And, most of all, a Shiny Penny to remind you that each will shine in his or her own special way.

Thank you for a wonderful welcome to the new school year!
