Last Day of School






Yesterday was the last day of school for me and the conclusion of 8 1/2 years as the school nurse. Leaving has been a very difficult decision. It seems like there is every reason to stay....adequate pay, close to home, good hours, and lots of time off. The farewell was very emotional...these folks are like family to me, but as I expressed earlier, it is just time to go. Several are very sad to see me go......there were tears from some of the closest, gifts from many, and cute notes from students. I jokingly said that if I had known they liked me this much, I would have stayed. Below are pictures of some of my friends and co-workers, and some of my little students...always in need and loving every minute of attention. I really will miss them all, but I plan to visit often....at least until I get weaned away. The senior girl shown above was one of my regulars....she was in the 4th grade when I started the job...Time does fly!

I know they will miss you very much...but I'm glad to have you home. I'm so spoiled! But I prefer to call it blessed.
