“Permission is a gift no one can steal and can begin from something very simple. Teach them to sing. Give them the finest things you can find. Give them music.”

Update: I FINALLY FINISHED THE YEARBOOK AND PLACED THE ORDER!!
Also, I did give my notice. Interestingly enough, some changes and shifts have been announced since I did so last week that have made me realize: I have totally made the right move.
Told some of my students yesterday, will tell the rest today (if the grapevine hasn't already). Funny thing, two of the most affected (so far) are seniors who are leaving anyway. LOL! I guess they liked the idea that I would be there for them to come back and visit? We have made alternate arrangements for keeping in touch, and that seemed to make them feel better. The wrap-up countdown continues.

Today they laid him in the earth's cold colour,
a man from Lewis with his seventy-five
years struck from his head. Teacher, scholar,
he had worked a true task when all alive…
