At first I figured she was leaving, but her voice was sad and who'd do that at 7am?
Then I panicked thinking something happened to a student!
So middle lamb and I got there only a little late
Sad faces and teared streaked cheeks were all over
Our 38 year old assistant principal had suffered a massive heart attack early this morning and died.
Complete shock
No warnings
38!

We love you Mr. Danner!
Middle Lamb heard peeps
In our incubator were 3 chicks
2 days early!
What a sign from God!
We told the kids...
They don't understand
Neither do I
We had our dreary rainy beach day
We watched another chick hatch
We loved on it
We made Darth Vader cards
We read Houdini was...
I just wanted share because frankly, you guys are like my colleagues and get the best and worst of the day to day
I hope your day was blessed
And I am sure many of you had some new life emerging as well!
How unbelievably sad Rachel. I'm so sorry for you loss. {hugs}

I am so sorry. We lost our VP one year suddenly. It was so hard for all of us. One thing we did to make her name live on is give an award to a student who had made a positive change during the year in her honor. She lives on still.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry Rachel. Your school will definitely be in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. It is terrible to receive such horrible news. You and your school will be in my prayers.

I'm so sorry for your loss. The same (kinda) thing happened to us with our principal today. She called the staff together and announced that she is separating from her husband and will be out the rest of the week to move out. Eek..I hope you have a great week. Stay strong!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear this. Praying for your school family!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. Our school family is so important. I can't even imagine.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss:( My thoughts and prayers are with you.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear this, Rachel. No matter what age you are, something like this is hard to understand. My thoughts and prayers are with your school.
ReplyDeleteRachel, I'm so sorry to hear of this awful news. Everyone at your school is in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss. What a sad way to end the year, and such a hard lesson about life for the students. Peace to all of you.

I am so sorry for your sad news! That's terrible! Your chicks are so cute! I hope you and your staff are healing.

I'm a little late to read this, but my prayers are with you. It's so hard to lose a co-worker, especially in the middle of the year. We lost a 3rd grade teacher just after Thanksgiving, and it was a very tough time (although she wasn't nearly as young). How neat to add the new life of the chicks on the same day, though!
ReplyDeleteDon't Let the Teacher Stay Up Late
My sons' school lost a teacher this year. It's so painful for all.
