Thank you FPAC!


The last day of school... our Jaguars have been looking forward to this day since July!  LOL. They are ready to move on to their next adventure!

As excited the kids are, it's a little bit bittersweet for me.  As excited as I am to start working on the next school year, there are parents on FPAC who will be moving on as well.  These are the parents who will no longer have a child in elementary school or they are leaving FPAC for another reason.

In a world where selfies are taken more than pictures of the world around us, these are the parents who have said it wasn't about them but about the kids.   

Sure... you've probably seen me... I'm usually the one talking to you about FPAC.  But these parents were mostly behind the scenes, helping a little bit here and there.  These are the parents who made it work and kept things moving.  These are the parents who picked up slack when things needed to get done in a hurry.  These are the parents who came together, side-by-side, and got the job done.

FPAC is an amazing group!  I am so grateful that I have made the friends that I did in FPAC.  These parents came to me as FPAC Board members... but we quickly became friends.  

Thank you to my FPAC Board!  Some of you I get to work with again next year, but some of you are leaving and I will miss seeing you!

If you see an FPAC member, please tell them THANK YOU!  They have truly given of themselves to help make the kids' time at school (and my time) very enjoyable!
