Don't get too Excited...this is just a congrats, not a return...
Well, hey there internets...

I'd just like to send a shout out to my dear friend Ann (her blog's over there in the sidebar.)

This morning she put the final punctuation mark on 5 years of teaching in the Baltimore City Public School System. She's switched schools, she's switched grades - almost every year (this means that she's had to learn a whole new curriculum many time's over).

She's put in 5 years serving kids in one of the nation's toughest school systems. She's taught sick and well, she's served with a great deal of love and patience. She's an outstanding lady, and I'm awfully proud of her.

So congratulations, Ann, and thank you for all you gave. I am confident that it will help make things better out there in Baltimore.

May the next chapter bring much more joy, and many fewer tears than BCPSS.
