Going above and beyond!

(Sadly I forgot to take a before picture, so this may not seem very impressive)   Today I was reminded of how wonderful it is to be working at such a great school.   It's not just a place to work, it's a community of friends who work together to make our school the best place it can be.  You know you are blessed when someone you work with will spend 5 hours in a closet with you!  At the end of school when I said, "OMG, we have to clean this closet out before someone gets hurt!", A dear friend and co-worker named Joanne was the first person to say, "I'll help you".   So today at 11:00 a.m. we started pulling things out of the right side of the closet.  We didn't even remove a lot of the items from the shelves.   Just from that right side  & we filled the hallway with stuff!  A lot of stuff!  5 hours later & a long trip to the dumpster, we had cleaned everything off that wall & the floor, removed an old coat rack and installed a new shelf.  You can actually see the floor now!   This may not seem like a normal preschool teacher activity but being a teacher is doing what is best for your students AND your school.  Sometimes you have to go above and beyond, not just in the classroom!
