August 28, 2013 Photo of the day: "On the Horizon"

At the end of our three teacher in service days, I find myself feeling thankful to work with so many inspiring, caring, and creative educators. These past few days, I have had the opportunity to work with several teachers who have left me feeling inspired, appreciated, and energized! Even more remarkable is that dozens of my colleagues chose end their day together on the deck of a local pub, sharing ideas and enjoying each other's company. Later, on my own deck, I watched the sun set, feeling the blessed exhaustion that comes from knowing that today I worked hard to make a difference. Tonight, I offer a prayer of thanks for the bright new academic year that is just on the horizon.
