Journal Entry
Marie has been our Teaching Assistant for the last 4+ years. The kids love her as much as I do, and it's very clear why. She is warm, personable, caring, encouraging, never speaks ill of anyone, always looks for the best in others and has a terrific sense of humor. You need that to work with me day in and day out. Over the years she became more than a TA; she became a dear friend.
Today is Marie's last day, and I feel like I'm losing my right arm-so to speak. She will start the school year among the ranks of those newly retired. Congratulations!!
Marie and I celebrating her retirement.
...and so dawns a new day, my friend! Be blessed! (I know of a long term sub job that's available this fall if you should find yourself bored
