The LAST BLOG ENTRY for the 2020/21 School Year...
I have two quotes in my head, each from a very different perspective, but both resonate with me as we wrap up this school year.
The First:
Success is a worn down pencil. -Robert Rauschenberg
And the Second:
Everybody's got a plan until you get punched in the face. -Mike Tyson
Bear with me here as I ground my two thoughts in reasoning... One, I DO feel like a worn down pencil. And, you know what? I thought I'd be dying for this year to end with all of the restrictions, guidelines, and planning on how to be safe and still creative during a Pandemic. Nonetheless, I am feeling accomplished, on behalf of my team of the unbelievable work we did this year, despite all of those restrictions.
Two, I DO feel like we were dealt a firm jab to the jaw, back in March of 2020- but how we dealt with it- planning ahead for the fall, and keeping kids engaged through art and music, online and in person, with style and grace.. was simply amazing. I know we will come back stronger than before, and rise up like the winner of a 15 round K.O. battle in the ring.
So, as we wrap up the school year, I will say it again, and again.. THANK YOU for BEING YOU. And I will see you on the FLIP SIDE. Take some time to rest, celebrate, enjoy the company of your friends and family.
Sending you love and strength,
-Jackie
