Here we are back in the thick of a new school year. Two weeks in and it feels like we never left! The planning, the meetings, the curriculum nights have all returned and we are off to the races... the mad dash until Christmas! I hope your year is punctuated with some fun activities with your students. Keeps you going when the pile of correcting starts to teeter.
For us teachers there are a lot of things to consider this fall. Right off the bat, opening proposals have been exchanged and collective bargaining has begun. Every teacher should check out their local branch meetings and be sure to attend, if at all possible. Come out to find out!
Next is the province-wide vote for NLTA President and Vice-President which is happening on December 4th. With five candidates for Vice-President (yours truly being the one I want you to vote for) we may be looking at a run-off vote two weeks later... December 18th.... WOW ... that is super close to Christmas! I would prefer a later date for elections, like March or May; but hey, the Convention decided and that's that!
So here's to a wonderful fall in NL. Welcome back ... to school, to work, to hunting or yoga, to ballet or hockey, to jogging or gymnastics - whatever you like to pursue. January may technically be the New Year, but September is the new year for SO many things. Good luck and be kind to each other.
