I know the year is really coming to a close when I’m filling in dates on my 08-09 school year calendar and starting to picture and plan for the upcoming school year more than this one. But the last few days of school always pack quite a punch. There is only about a week left of school, and as I write this, it is the night before the annual trip to Valley of the Moon in Sonoma County. I will be accompanying the second and third grade classes to sunny Glen Ellen for this wonderful overnight excursion. (I still have to pack!) When I first came to Presidio Hill School back in 1990, the whole school went to this tiny little camp together, first graders through eighth graders, for multiple nights … and the kindergarteners came up for a little peek on one of the afternoons. We wouldn’t all fit there, now, that’s for sure! Last year, as a parent picking my own child up, I went back to Valley of the Moon for the first time in many, many years. The memories were strong and wonderful, and I look forward to being there again and spending time with the students in this way. It’s a great way to kick off the summer break. Have a wonderful and relaxing summer with your families, best wishes to the terrific class of 2008, and I’ll see most of you again in September – when I hope you’ll all share with me all the favorite new books and authors you discover!
