Toot! Toot!

I am not one to toot my own horn. I don't like to do that because so many other people work hard and deserve recognition. We are all busy. We all work hard. We all deserve a hand every now and again.

But, I was so tickled yesterday to receive this honor that I wanted to share.

Our school does a quarterly recognition of staff members where fellow colleagues nominate deserving staff members for recognition. For this first semester, I was chosen as the recipient. Below is listed the email I received. I just wanted to share!
