I like celebrating birthdays, but since I'm the newbie at OHE, I walked in to school today with the mindset, "Expect nothing. You won't be disappointed." The first thing I saw was this:
Yup, right behind that wall is my "office" and in my office were two gifts and three cards. One gift was from the tutor team. A gift card to Starbucks. To me. Who's never had a cup of coffee in her life. But they got the chocolate cupcakes right!
The other gift just made me smile. I was in the lunchroom probably back in October talking to Angela's son. Angela is our reading corps tutor. He was having a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and I was telling him how it's probably been twenty years since I've had one. Angela promised that day that she would bring me a PB&J for my birthday. There it was - a peanut butter and raspberry jelly sandwich on honey whole wheat bread! Why wait until lunch? I ate it right then and there!
My other surprise came when I walked into Mrs. Bakke's class. She said, "Good morning, Mrs. Zupke!" to which her entire class responded, "Happy Birthday, Mrs. Zupke!" Obviously, they practiced yesterday! It was great!
