worn out

end of year in first grade

One of our teachers was murdered yesterday

We were with her at inservice Friday afternoon.  She was given her own classroom after subbing faithfully for two years.  She was a delightful person---kind, friendly, the mother of two young children, and the wife of a firefighter. She went for a Saturday morning walk at 9:00 and did not come home.  Her body was found in a wooded area nearby. 

We are all in shock and cannot believe this happened in our small town.  Please pray for us, her family, and the first graders she leaves behind. 

Thank you all for being a caring, teaching community.

I am so sorry.  That is just awful.  My prayers and thoughts are with all of you.  I can't even imagine how tough a time this is for you right now.

You took my breath away.  I am so sorry.  You will be in my prayers as well as her family.  We are here for you if you need to vent or talk about it without judgement.  You have my love too.  L

It pains me to here the world lost a person that could possibly have changed it, given the chance. I hope her passing will remind others how lucky they are to be alive and enjoy every waking momment.

About emptynester

This coming year will be my 31st year of teaching. I like my job, but I am becoming increasingly tired and worn out at certain times of the year like May, September, and December. I hope to talk to other teachers to help me keep charged up so I can do my best for my remaining years of teaching. We have a lot of poverty in our area, so we have an increasing number of special ed students and child abuse incidences.
