Good-bye CHS . . .

Well, I'm retired and not coming back to Cashmere High School. This makes me sad, but then I think about all the adventures I hope to experience in the future and I'm not so sad. I will miss the students and staff at CHS, for the past 23 years this has been my happy place. I loved my job, but now it's time to travel with my husband in our new little Casita travel trailer and be with my family and friends. I will miss the conversations in the library, the yearbook staffers, the good books and this wonderful school. Don't take it for granted, this is a special place where many people care deeply about you.

I will miss the students in the hall, seeing what they are wearing and who they are hanging out with. I'll miss dressing up during Homecoming. I'll miss standing in the hall with Ms. Fall and other teachers. I'll miss opening up boxes of new books and showing them to students. I'll miss the peace and quiet of the library after a busy day. I'll miss the great staff of CHS and my friends I have made over the years. I'll miss working on the yearbook. I'll miss my paycheck :-). I'll miss recommending a book to a student and them telling me they really liked it later. I'll miss laughing with my students, you are great!

I won't miss the mess of the remodeling and dealing with the changes that are to come. I won't miss dealing with overdue books. I won't miss students not wanting to read. I won't miss keeping up with technology. I won't miss yearbook deadlines. I won't miss driving 20 miles to work everyday. I won't miss thinking about what I'm going to wear to school. I won't miss trying to keep up with sequels. I won't miss trying to read all the books in the library. I won't miss trying to remember everyone's name.
 
 Giddy-up, it's time for me to head out for new adventures!
