We ended a high-energy, crazy work week with a nice low key holiday party today. The weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas break is quite possibly the most challenging time in a school. The kids are hyped up, the staff is tired, and the semester draws to a close (at least this year it does). We celebrated today with an everyone bring some food party and a Secret Santa reveal. It was totally laid back, and a nice time for us to chat and enjoy each other's company over good eats.
The food was yummy, and the gifts were fun, but more importantly it was a reminder that I work with great people. Secret Santa is a blast because we all know and love each other- we're a complete staff of about 21. There's something about working with all women that's different and pretty terrific. Even all the leaders in the organization are women. There is true camaraderie and care amongst all of us. Saying goodbye at the end of the night felt like leaving your family to go away. Some of us will likely see each other over break, but it would be totally okay if we don't. In a likely-to-be-very-quick ten days, we'll all be back again to continue doing what we do.
In the meantime, a restful break and peace to all of my extended work family.
