Ahhh, can you smell the pencil shavings and school bus diesel in the air? That means only one thing, back to school. I hope you all had a great summer, I know I did.
I begin my work again with First Priority, an organization that helps facilitate student-led bible clubs in school and I am kind of nervous. There’s a new principle at my school and I haven’t met them yet, but that’s going to change this week. Here’s a list of the inexpensive gift items I’m going to give her.
Aspirin – because, this is a hard job
A Journal – to reflect on her journey
Earplugs – to keep the hater noise out
Something Sweet- for those sour days
Starbucks card – for those late work nights
It’s a simple gesture, but it lets her know I care and I am praying for her. Hope it inspires you to reach out to the principals in your schools.
