It's 4:25 on Friday afternoon. Everyone is excited and relieved when Friday rolls around, but there's extra relief this Friday. The first week of school is over. We did it. One week down. Thirty-five to go. It's a privilege to work at Dougherty Valley High School. Is it perfect? No. Were there moments of near meltdown? Of course. But there were moments of delight and peace. School starts, the freshmen appear, and I am home.
