Today is the day we remember Columbine. I will always remember that day. The word silently spread to the teachers and staff at my school but we couldn't turn on the TV because we wanted to protect the students from the horrible scene unfolding. Because of that terrible day, our school district is ultra vigilant to protect our kids. Lock Down drills, which have become commonplace, are taken seriously. As soon as students walk into our building they are "our children" and I know that there is not one teacher who would not hesitate to do whatever they needed to keep them safe.
On a much lighter note: Sometimes we see a reflection of ourselves in kids. While working with students today, a boy pulled his glasses down to the tip of his nose and declared, "look I'm a librarian!" Well, that was a giant step backward in my quest to eliminate the stereotype! Maybe I should get a tattoo and dye my hair purple!
