Fresh Apples

The association has a contract. Negotiations concluded after a surprising turn when the district found that the daily state rate would be $159.47 per day. With that we got the raise (and then some) we were wrangling over. WHEW!

We can start bargaining again after January, 2011 -- yippee.

I work tomorrow and I expect that to be the last time for the school year. The school year ends on June 17 and the likelihood I will get another assignment between tomorrow and Thursday is slim. At any rate, I will be in for a math teacher and all but her 6th graders will be gone so it's line designs for us. I may have a bit of spare time to help the librarian too.

Worked Friday at a middle school and watched the 8th graders play volleyball and basketball against the teachers and staff. What a hoot! Some of those 8th grade boys have some amazing moves and I swear one of them actually flew! As one of the teachers said, "If the 8th graders had been taller we would have been in trouble." I saw a lot of groaning and stretching from the adults later in the day but the students who had played were in fine form. Ah, to be young again
