I know that most of my committed followers are most likely asleep, but I know for sure that there’s one who is wide-eyed and waiting for the next post. I have affectionately named her my “Blog Stalker.” My “Blog Stalker” is my personal cheerleader. When I say “go” she has already “gone.” Sometimes, she tells me things that I don’t want to hear. Sometimes, I tell her things that she doesn’t want to hear. When the words have ceased, we give each other a half smile and say, “You’re Right!” We are both Aries, which make us a dueling pair! This blog isn’t specifically about her, but her ghost is lurking around. This blog is specifically written about our school’s secretary and instructional aide; let’s call them Ms. L and Ms. J. I am telling “their” story because they deserve “orange frogs!”
The quote, “Teamwork Makes the Dream Work!” was coined by John C. Maxwell. The complete quote includes, “You Need a Team to make the Dream Work!” I know that teamwork happens every day in education, there is absolutely no way that we could survive without it. I also know that we sometimes forget to give “orange frogs” to those who make the dream work.
Today was an awesome day at McCord School! Yes, I am using our school’s name. I am wearing my “role model hat” because I have consistently said to my teachers, “Tell your Own Story!” Back to the blog at hand; that’s a blog for a different day! Today was an awesome day because we had a special event planned for our kids. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as we had planned. As I made my morning rounds, shared comments indicated that I was not the only disappointed person in the school! A whimsical comment shared by a teacher got my wheels turning; PLAN B was hatched. As Maxwell proclaimed, “You Need a Team to Make the Dream Work!” Well, Ms. L and Ms. J Made the Dream Work! In less than an hour we had a school-wide activity planned! In 2 hours, we had games, prizes, and balloons! After lunch, our kids were playing hockey in the corridors! I saw a few teachers swinging hockey sticks. I got in on the fun too! It was a great afternoon; our kids were happy!
Hooves Up to Ms. L and Ms. J! Thanks for Making the Dream Work!
