I didn't realize when school got out, teachers and staff were just as anxious for the last day as the kids. I have been looking forward to this day since Christmas! Well Friday was our last day. The teacher I work with bought me a yearbook, so I was in the cafeteria with the other teachers and students saying, "Wanna sign my yearbook?" It made me laugh at the irony!
I worked in the Special Ed department and was relieved when another teacher explained when students wrote H.A.G.S. it meant "Have a great summer." I thought students were writing "HUGS" just mispelled, such a relief!
Saturday, we went with some friends to see the movie "Up". For those of you not wanting to see it, I LOVED IT. The jokes were smart, Pixar paid attention to detail, and it kept my 3 year old's attention... can't beat that! Afterwhich we went to a park to have the kids picnic and play. As the "grown-ups" were sitting on the blankets to visit. One of my kids from school with two others from the junior high passed. I recognized them but didn't say anything to them because they were not looking at me. About an hour later, they passed again... this time, they ALL looked. My first reaction was to say, "Hey guys, howya doing?" They all said, "Hi" back... but then one of them (not my student) said, "See I told you it was the 'lady' from the school!" I have been laughing about that ever since! I have a feeling that won't be the last time I hear that comment before school starts again!

Glad it was "have a great summer" and not HAGS as in "you are all such hags". Not that you are because you aren't, but some students can be less than nice at times.
I love Kristi Ann's comment!! It makes me laugh.
Well, I do think it's funny that your 'that lady from the school'. Kids are so funny.
Ha "that lady" better than "that mean lady" or worse. I remember my mom (she's a reading specialist) always getting the kids saying hi too. Whats weird is when you become aware of all the odd holidays that you never would normally notice. Glad you are out for the summer though. I need to call you and let you know our "possibly" good news.
