While the kids' last day of school was yesterday, teachers had to work a half day today to close down their classrooms. (I will never complain about that - in Illinois I opened and closed my classrooms on my own time; here, I get paid to do it!)
Linda treated us to a catered breakfast buffet from The Outpost and all retired Hershey teachers were invited to join us. A lot of them came, too!
The library was full of teachers, past and present!
Linda said a few words to us (and I think she personally footed the bill for the breakfast.)
Jo Stroud, P.E. teacher, is retiring and she reminisced for a while.
The rest of the time was ours to work in our rooms and get things put away for summer.
I finished up around 1:00 and snapped a few pictures of my now lonely-looking classroom.
A school without children is a lonely place. While I am ready for some rest (and promptly fell asleep for an hour and a half when I got home) I will miss teaching and being with the kids and my colleagues.
