The weather today is a bit cooler and that to me is a good thing. The past week has been spent getting ready for a new school year, so it seems fitting that the weather would at least begin to feel a little "fall-ish." I forget from year to year just how much needs to be done to get ready for the new school year - especially as the director of a preschool and kindergarten program. Not only is it ordering the supplies, enrolling the students, and what seems at times like a mountain of paperwork, but it is also the training of the staff in the various policies, not only of our organization but those required by law when working with young children. Every summer I think I have a head start on it all, but alas the last two weeks before the new school year are hectic ones.
Today we had a four hour training session in first aid and CPR - skills that we hope we never have to use. I'm not talking about the bandaids for the scrapes and cuts that are part of life with four and five year olds. But the idea of actually having to use my CPR skills is a scary thought. Would I really remember all the steps if I actually had to do it? It really is one of those things I hope I never have to use.
