Last Day of School

Yesterday was the last day of school for us. It was kind of a different feeling knowing that I would probably not return to a classroom setting for the rest of my career. There are some things that I will definitely miss about that. I do think that is why I enjoy summer football so much. I feel like when we are instructing and putting offenses and defenses in without the immediate pressure of a game looming that it takes the place of any type of classroom. i think the fact that it is just an extension of the classroom is what I find so appealing. The staff was great. i really did not expect the nice gift card that I received. I'm just moving across the parking lot! I got a great "gag" gift from my PE colleagues. a rather large paddle with the inscription, "Walking Tall" written on it. I hope I don't need that in my new job as assistant principal at Dunlap Middle School. Tomorrow (Friday) I plan on returning up to school to make sure everything is ready and organized for workouts on Monday. I am really looking forward to Monday. Hopefully the kids and coaches are as well.
