Sorry I missed you yesterday. I was under the tree from 2:40 till just after 3:00. When I didn't see anybody, I left. I got to see a couple of students, a few of your moms and younger siblings. Being back at Vejar brought back so many memories. It feels like forever has gone by, so much has changed in my life. I loved teaching. Still do. As much as my heart truly, deeply loves and cares about you all, I'm glad I'm home this year. It's turned out to be quite a blessing in disguise to have lost my job. :) There's always a reason for something. Or, you can always find something good in things that happen to you.
Still, I would have loved to have seen you. Take care. I know you're all extremely busy and stressed!! Don't work too hard. Save your superhuman abilities for high school. You'll burn yourselves out if you're stressing too much right now. Breathe... breathe... and always, always talk to your teachers if you're feeling overwhelmed. They understand and will care about the students who honestly tell them so.
Good luck! :)
Love,
Mrs. Martin
