This past weekend, my Teachers' Union's Equity and Human Rights Committee sent me to a conference in Irvine. (Will post a separate blog about this later) I attended the conference with a few other teachers / committee members. Even though I did not want to go because I had grades and report cards hanging over my head, I am glad that I went because it was one of the best conferences I have attended!
After the conference, we drove down the coast to put our feet on Southern California sand....Fun.
I am glad that I went, got away from work even if it was for a short time. I am grateful that I got to go because I got to know some wonderful colleagues a little better.
Had fun with these "kids" ... :)
Became friends with these good looking dudes. Love them already! :)

I am a strong proponent of just such events. I think the comraderie and networking that comes out of shared times together with coworkers is absolutely priceless. It refreshes and renews our spirits to briefly get away from it all, and quite often reignites the spark of our passion around our work. Bravo to your committee for sending you to this conference!
