I’m smack dab in the middle of my parent conferences. I’ve been doing a couple each day, and after school, and tomorrow, I’m powering through seven straight, starting at 7:30am.

I’ve been terrified of this week. Up until this point in my career, I “didn’t do parents.” Honestly, they scared me, so I avoided them.

But, of course, I came home today after four conferences in a row just beaming.

I get to talk to a bunch of really great people about their truly awesome kids. I’m at a school that is living out its vision of partnering with parents to raise and educate these kiddos. I’m also finally feeling like an educator. Big moment. Thank God.
