I was scheduled to work at Vega last Friday to help out the teacher I had been subbing for long term. She needed help with field day since she isn’t back up to 100% yet. Unfortunately, Jenn came down with a stomach virus Thursday evening (I had it Wednesday), so I was her sub on Friday. It wore me out!

The best part of the day happened during field day. The music teacher was helping out at the popsicle station. She pulled me aside and told me that I did a wonderful job with the kids and that they were always so well behaved for her. She also told me that she had found out that I was up for the open kindergarten position this past summer.

She looked into my eyes and said, “They made a huge mistake!” WOW! What validation! It made me feel good that someone finally verbally said what many are thinking. The other long term sub position I have interviewed for (I also had a second interview on Friday that went really well) came from a recommendation the assistant principal at Vega gave. Hopefully there will be that perfect position for me next year!
