Back...again!

Then: Horace Mann Middle School
Now: Trevista @ Horace Mann ECE-8
Never in a million years would I ever have thought I'd be back in my old middle school stomping grounds...as a STAFF member!!
Yup, back...again...only cuz it pays the bills!! Just Kidding!
Yes, many many moons ago, I once attended Horace Mann Middle School as a teenie weenie! Now, almost 30!, I'm here once again as a para! Boy does it bring back memories, especially ones that I'd thought I'd forgotten for good. It's amazing how different things trigger certain memories!
Well no longer is it a middle school, but it is in it's first year as a ECE-8 school. It's very strange to see 4 year olds mixed in with 14 year olds. (Well actually, the 14yos act like 4 yos) I worked at Remington Elementary last year and was fortunate continue my job this year at this school. It's really funny because after all these years, there is one person that is still here that I knew back in middle school. Mrs. B was and still is a para here. And I work with her!! How funny life is sometimes.
Well, the job is hard at times. I'm trying to adjust to the middle school aged children here. I always told myself I would NEVER work in a middle school, yet here I am..with middle school aged kids. But at least I have the younger kids to keep me sane! At least Naia (who is an ECE student here) can say she went to the same school as mommy!!!
So here's to a new school year!!! But this time I'm NOT the student!!
