WELCOME BRIAN MYERS!
What a crazy week or two - first of all the sudden departure of our principal, and then the awful delay in announcing our new principal, even though we gave a strong recommendation to the district on the candidate of our choice.
Finally, we have our new guy. I can't help thinking of the song, "The Boys are Back in Town" but I hear that Brian will be the first EVER male principal at Cannan. What's up with this? We now have a loaded male campus of 4, so the testosterone is flowing in our hood now...
Anyway, I know Brian will be a great principal, just as he was an excellent VP over at Mathews. He may have taken a detour to get here, since he for some reason had to swing by Beasley for 6 years, but it is funny how many of us have crossed the pond, or at least the Oddie overpass. I guess we all know a good thing when we see it. I did find a great review of Brian at ratemyteachers.com where the kid wrote, "He takes his job WAY too seriously" So obviously, he is a perfect fit for Cannan!
Here's to an exciting new year, with only forward and upward progress under a cool leader.
Welcome Brian! (or do we address you as Sir?)

I did appreciate knowing, before the end of our first week, that we had a principal. Welcome Mr. Myers! In addition, it was a relief to know that the recommendations of our interview committee were honored. With administrators in place, I think it frees us up to concentrate on the work ahead of us. The upside of our beginning of the year turmoil was that we got to spend lots of time preparing our rooms for the year ahead of us. There wasn't the usual rush from one meeting to another. Instead of spinning, I think many of us feel that we got a more focused start to the year.
ReplyDeleteI agree - it was great not to be sitting in meetings which often sap your energy as you're trying not to panic about all the things you want to do to set up your year! Very calm this time around...or was it my medication?
