Well hello everyone! As some of you may have noticed we’ve been rather quiet for several days (actually we’ve been M.I.A since the 24th of July, but who’s counting) and believe me I’ve totally missed all of you in grand style! I could make up a bunch of excuses for our absence, but the truth is so much sweeter. I, the primary writer/blogger of this collaboration, have been busy preparing for a life altering event. No, I’m not pregnant (those days are way past), and no, I’m not getting married (no further comment on that topic)! Any more guesses? Ok, never mind. I’ll just put it out there: I resigned from my job of more than 19 years in the school district, and I’ve accepted a position in another district.
Wanna Tuesday afternoon laugh? The district I left and the one I’ve joined have been arch rivals since the beginning of time!
here’s a look at the mascot from the district I left
And here’s my new mascot
Classes begin on the 10th and the big rivalry game is scheduled for the 21st. Our school has had some academic struggles in the past, but the new superintendent (who left the same district I left) took a powerhouse team to join the teams that were already in place. We are destined to become one of the most successful districts in the state. I’ll be sure to keep everyone updated on our academic progress. The new school motto is a favorite of mine and soon it will be seen all over our district.
I’m on a personal crusade to share our logo as a show of support for our district, the personnel and especially the students. I’d appreciate it if you would do the same by re-blogging (either this entire post or just a brief post of your own)
Wish us luck!!!!
Good luck with your new “position.”

Hi Cat in the Cactus! We’re fan-tad-tic! My first full week on the job was nothing short of amazing! I learned a lot about the students (and the parents) with whom I’ll be working. I’m anxious to see what week 2 has in store for me. Have a great day tomorrow.

Yes, the tiger is more ferocious. Unfortunately, he didn’t prove to be stronger in our case. We lost to the Panthers in our season opener… but there’s always next year.
