Students entering the eighth grade at Holbrook Middle School next Fall will be sad to find that Mrs. Smith will not be among the teaching staff. She has accepted a position with the Bangor School system. She's reported to have said she was looking for a change.
I've heard many great remarks about Mrs. Smith as a teacher but, as with any profession, change and relocation are to be expected. Gone are the days when an individual stays with the same company their entire career. Its not even unusual when people relocate geographically. Professional and personal growth frequently take us to new places and opportunities even as we are sad to leave friends and familiar places behind. We should all wish Mrs. Smith a good experience with her new position.
Looks like Mr. Hart will be busy with his recruitment efforts this summer.

How great to see a bit of sunlight even if not for entire days lately. People in my neighborhood are rushing out to mow the lawns that have grown like weeds - Oh, those are weeds! The peonies have had a terrible time with the rain. Mine have lost their petals almost before they had a chance to enjoy their bloom. Bummer.

A spelling correction from yesterday's blog re: the Mad Hatter's Tea - "Red" Hodgins came on by to help me with a bit of a situation and left his business card. He assured me he had no problem hearing I had misspelled his last name - but for the record, it is Hodgins (not Hodgens).
