Went back to school this evening for our Parent Night. This is a beginning-of-the-year event where the parents come to school to meet the teachers. We met them all in the gym first, then retired to the classrooms where the parents could come and go. In all, I probably had 50 students represented by parents--which isn't bad. But the bigger victory, in my opinion, was the fact that a school board member is one of my parents! It was easily 90 degrees in my classroom, and the board member came back when there weren't as many parents around to inquire what was up with the air conditioning. I told him what I knew...which was nothing. Mr. S. said he couldn't promise anything but that he intended to make some phone calls to see what could be done. Praise the Lord!!! It's pretty sad when I had to declare to parents that I wouldn't offer to shake their hands because I had been wiping sweat from my face and neck. Yuck!
Anyway, I am home again and snug in my little air conditioned bungalow. The place is still messy from the grandchildren, but it's home and it's comfortable!
