Curtain Call

This should have posted on 4/1/10.

It became official today: My principal is retiring. She announced her retirement at our staff meeting this afternoon. This has been in the works for a while now. Everyone thought that she was going to announce it soon. I was one of a few people that thought it was going to be today. I knew it was coming. As we sat in our staff meeting, it became obvious that the ramifications started to set in people's minds. Who in the world will be able to replace her? While the principal is not my boss, that person can affect how I do my job. So I have a small level of concern, but I'm not as freaked out as my coworkers. I figure there's no need to freak out if I don't know what's going to happen.
