Since Elliot started kindergarten in 1993, I’ve been on the PTA board at Oswalt Elementary School every single year. That’s a span of 12 years! <\/p>\n
I’ve seen 4-5 vice principals come and go. I’ve seen teachers get marry and get pregnant. Some come back and some do not. Elliot’s 3rd grade teacher was a first-year newbie, and now she is considered a veteran. I still see her as a new teacher! I’ve seen changes in the demographics of the school. I was there in the hay day of over 1000 enrollment and a waiting list of students, now to this year of under 700 students. <\/p>\n
With Amy in 5th grade this year, this will mark my last year at Oswalt Elementary. YES! I am finally getting out of elementary school. A 4th grade teacher there once told me that when her previous students come back to visit her, she feels she’s in a time warp, always stuck in 4th grade while those students have moved on to high school and college. Interesting thought…<\/p>\n
The season of life as room mom and PTA volunteer has been good. While I was never PTA president or held any high profile role, I believed I’ve served the community with my volunteer hours. I hope a child will someday remember a Mrs. Lee that helped him during elementary school. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
