It's Snowing!
Mood:  surprised
It's Saturday afternoon and I'm baking Christmas bread and it's snowing! Granted it's not sticking to the ground but the snowflakes drifting by my window are real and they are so wonderful. I'm definitely in the Christmas mood. I'm leaving on Dec. 26th for CA. It will be good to visit my family and see if I can handle the reverse culture shock of going home. It will be really weird to be able to read street signs again.
Have a very Merry Christmas.

On a much sadder note....I attended a funeral this morning for one of our 8th grade boys who committed suicide this week. The impact is indescribable. It has affected staff and students so much. I am so very sad.

Name: Pat Shelley

My, what adventures! So sorry to hear about your student. I have experienced a student's suicide. You never quite get over it. Such a tragedy. I cried for days and didn't even really know the girl. It was my first year as a full-time counselor. I'll keep you and your school in my prayers.
