Thank you for all your wonderful responses to the news of me moving on to Pius next year. As I said in my original email, it was a very difficult decision as Blessed Sacrament is home in a number of ways, and I imagined being here as principal possibly until my young ones graduated. However, I do so look forward to following our 8th graders to Pius and seeing a new batch of familiar 9th graders each year. And I’m eager to give Blessed Sacrament a voice at Pius as well! I have yet to experience being solely a parent at a school, and although I’m devastated at not being able to watch my son walk by the office with his bubbles and buckle, I am excited to be more involved as a parent. And I’m sure I’ll be thankful to not be constantly around when my middle child inevitably gets sent to the principal’s office 😉. I plan to soak in these last two months of school with the peculiar questions, the surprise-attack hugs, and the many pieces of gifted artwork.
