Bustin' my buttons...

 

Gained a little weight, didja, Jim?

Thanks for asking, but... no.  We got a text from our sweet girl today, asking if this was a good time to talk; she said she had "news" for us.  Being a glass-half-full kinda guy, I assumed it would be good news.  Nope, it was delightful news: Stephanie received the Teacher of the Year Award for her school!  We could not be more proud... but, we always knew what a great teacher she is.

Generally, there is a staff breakfast and a district dinner to honor the recipient; not sure how that will be done in this time of Covid.

This has been quite a school year for Steph: helping her school sort out how on-line, hybrid, and in-class teaching would go this year; receiving the National Award for Science Teachers from the Society of Automotive Engineers for the work she has done with the Gravity Cruisers/World In Motion projects.  And now, Teacher of the Year.  Good job, kid - sorry we couldn't be volunteering in your classroom this year, because it is always a delight to see you in action.  In the middle of a challenging school year, you continue to be positive and care to give your best.
