We are supposed to hear back any day now to find out if we (the ballet and I) got accepted for a grant we wrote that would fund my salary as a full-time outreach specialist for the ballet. If it goes through I could be spending my days at the ballet and in the community doing what I am super passionate about, rather than at the high school watching the minute hand chug its way around the clock. On Thursday and Friday I took the day off of school so that I could work on completing our other grant (an integrated-curriculum writing grant). I got a little taste of what my day could be like if I am able to work full-time as an outreach specialist. It certainly required a lot more effort that watching kids shred paper, but it was so much more fulfilling and I got to be with people I admire in an atmosphere that is happy and inspiring. If you can keep your fingers crossed for me I would sure appreciate it. Oh what a disappointment it will be if they say no!
ps - Soon to come: pictures (yes, PICTURES) and stories from Bret's birthday. My man is 26... what an old fart!
That would/will be so awesome!! I hope it comes through quickly! Thanks again for stepping in for us in Nursery last week.
