16. Survive This School Year


This time last year my principal approached me and asked if I would take on the role of Activities Director.  ASB in itself is an awesome yet time consuming job.  But I was crazy enough to say yes to ASB and to continue my job as Yearbook adviser.  And to top it off my principal is retiring and I set out to make four, yes four, videos for the party!  Thus started the craziest school year of my life!

It has been a year of extreme highs (I got to meet members of Starkid when they came to speak to my yearbook class) and incredible lows (Kevin, my favorite kid in the world, lost his battle with cancer in March).  There has been lots of laughter and lots of tears.  I’ve learned that it’s okay to say “No” and that it doesn’t show weakness to ask for help. 

But I wouldn’t have been able to survive this year or to accomplish everything if I wasn’t surround by an AMAZING team!  The staff at Alice C. Stelle Middle School is the best around!  They are always willing to help and aren’t afraid to execute my crazy ideas for the kids!  But the biggest thank you goes to Mary, Josh, and Sandy (My principal, vice principal, and ASB partner in crime)!  They are the true reason that this year happened.  They have been there through it all the sweat and tears and have showed me that I can do anything.

Yes there is one month left of the school year.  Bring it on!  Together AC Stelle can do ANYTHING!!
