First Day at FHS (it's official!)
Today was a great day! Having only been a teacher at one other school, I was anxious about the change and unknown. Not about anything specifically, but about the fact that I was coming into a new place and wouldn't know the basics of being a Flint Hill teacher... However based on the scavenger hunt I think I'm in good hands. Everyone that we ran into (whether they knew about the scavenger hunt or not) was overly helpful. People didn't just point us in the right direction but instead escorted us to our next location. It is clear that with all of the help that returning faculty and staff are eager to supply that the "unknown" will become the "known" in a very short time.

Courtney,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great observation--there's only one way for the unknown to become the known. Thank you for starting on that journey so graciously.

Welcome to FHS! Change can be very hard and like you said, it is often the unknown that causes much of the anxiety for us. One thing that I have always loved and appreciated about FHS is that there is a huge support network. Yes, you are in good hands and we are so happy to have you here! :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad to have you as a part of the journey. As the unknown's come up, don't be shy about asking. It helps everyone.
ReplyDeleteI hear you on "the unknown". I'm in a new role this year and I feel the same way! But what has been really wonderful, in each change I've gone through here, is that the faculty, staff, and administrators at Flint Hill all want to see each other succeed.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to have you here! Penni has been quite the skilled recruiter!
I cannot tell you how happy we are that you chose Flint Hill! We are so fortunate to have you here and I cannot wait to work with you.
