Good News

I was pretty thrilled at last night's election results for a variety of reasons, both locally, nationally, and in other states. But the one that hit closest to home and will actually impact my life is that the county I work in finally passed a bond/mill levy that will save our district from drowning financially. Not only will I see a little bit of extra money this year, but this actually gives me a chance at having a job next year! I am on a temporary one-year contract, so no matter what my job is up in the air, but now I actually stand a chance to get to stay where I am. As opposed to the guaranteed unemployment had it failed. Before school this morning, two of my old students came into my room and with wide open arms and cheered, "You get to keep your job!" Nothing could have made me happier.
