Back To School

Well, we went back to school today after an extra long summer. Normally we start back to school the first or second full week of August but last year the Florida Legislature passed a law that starting this year, public schools could not start any earlier than two weeks before Labor Day. Please, Pray for me and my fellow employees at my school. Our Principal projected us as having 450 students this year and we barely made 400 today. If we don't meet projection some of us will have to move to other schools. I work with Special Needs preschool children and we are supposed to have 4 students this year but only 2 showed up today. Even though the school gets more money for students in my class, they probably won't keep the unit open for just 2 or 3 students. I'll keep you all up to date on the situation. On the positive side...Several of the staff members painted the cafeteria over the summer and renamed it the Pine Castle Cafe. We are hoping that by giving the cafeteria a "Restaurant" name the students and staff will treat it as such and behavior will be restaurant behavior.
