I know there are people wondering how my school year went since I changed to my new school last August. (Wow! I really have posted since August! Not surprised. I worked HARD this year!!)
I have to share with you that the new school is AMAZING! AMAZING!!! I have had a wonderful year of teaching & growing as a teacher and a professional. My principal and assistant principal are FANTASTIC (even though, they are sadly leaving next year to move on to bigger and better things... i.e. doctorate program @ an Ivy League school). My colleagues are OUTSTANDING! They work hard, they take their jobs as teachers seriously, but they also find time to have fun together! We work hand-in-hand with our administrators to make decisions about the school and everything we do, we do our very best work on.
The school itself has a wonderful community for the students. We work to show our kids that the world is like one big community, and it succeeds on our collective input to make it a better place, to help others, and to understand that we all must work together.
I am finishing up my 4th year of teaching, and although I have an amazing school... The prospect/threat/fear of being laid off from the city is still quite strong. Every year the same thing. We will see what happens. Hopefully the threat of lay offs will pass as it has the past 2 years... And if not, I'm bracing myself for the changes it will bring. WISH ME LUCK!

Luck??? You already have it!
I think the expression "died and went to heaven" fits the description of your new school.
Good luck on not getting laid off but somehow I think everything will turn out fine.
