A few weeks ago we were really worried about Dallas not having a job next year. I believe there were over 500 teachers that got laid off in Katy ISD. It was a very stressful time for us because we thought Dallas would always be safe in the field of education. God always has a plan though. Dallas did get to keep his job. He was 1 out of 2 first and second year teachers at his school that got to stay. Here are a few pictures from his last month at school this year.
Teacher Appreciation Week he gets very spoiled by his students (They all love him)! He gets the sweetest notes from parents saying how much their kids enjoy his class and what an influence he has on them. I love going to restaurants and seeing his kids get so excited to see him outside of school.
After that was sports banquet where he gets up to talk in front of all the kids and parents about basketball and tennis season and hands out awards.
Last week was the Faculty vs. Student basketball game. I didn't get to go this year so I don't have pictures or proof of how, according to him, he "dominated" those boys. He said he felt like a celebrity because all the kids were giving him high fives all the way to class after the game and the next day. I tell him jr. high kids sure are good for his ego! :)
Only 2 1/2 more days and he will be out for the summer! A break he very much deserves!
