From Mr. David’s Desk

When I arrived at Torit on Wednesday this week, I was relieved to see the students streaming in. I’m guessing you might have been equally happy to see your children heading off to school. No guilt there! Those of us who choose to be lifelong educators love this work because of the energy we feel and the relationships we build with students. It’s kind of addictive, to be honest. When school’s not in session, we want to be back with the kids. Sure, teachers need time off like everyone else to recharge and get some perspective, but after a week or so, we’re eager to get back to the classroom. At least that’s the case for me.

Some advice, then: enjoy those snow days. They don’t happen very often. When your child wants you to build a snowman or have a snowball fight, do it. Lay down and make a snow angel. Play together. Enjoy these last few weeks of winter.

Ms. Judy’s perspective on these topics appears below. With more than 35 years of classroom experience, Ms. Judy knows a thing or two about kids. Watching her teach our elementary students is a master class I hope you all have the opportunity to experience.
