I always get a kick out of this time of the year when people lose track of the calendar-I think summer does that. Last week, I heard a few people panic that August is right around the corner.

In education it seems the goal is to have everything ready for day 1. Is that ever possible? I know prep is necessary, but school starts on a given day-so everything is ready or not- class proceeds! And everything turns out just fine!

I have been working this summer on preparing our five LUMIN Schools with their technology needs. What a joy to work with dedicated teachers and staff who truly care about students and their education and faith.

LUMIN is opening a new school this year, CUSPilgrim. Growth leads to opportunities and possibilities!

Enjoy August!

End of May 2012! What exciting days. On Thursday, I ended my teaching career in the classroom. I always said that when our youngest graduated from High School I was going to end my career in the classroom.  I was down to two days per week for this school year, but it is still exciting to move on to new adventures. I am so grateful for my teaching opportunities at Trinity-Edwardsville, IL, St James- Lafayette IN, St. Peter-Immanuel- Milwaukee WI (where I received the opportunity to begin my technology teaching/training), Mt Calvary- Milwaukee, WI, , Northwest- Milwaukee, WI, Concordia University School- Milwaukee, WI. So much support and caring from staff and students at these fine churches/schools.

For the 2012-2013 school year, I will be almost full time, managing the Educational/Informational Technologies for LUMIN Schools. I have been working in this capacity the last few years on a part time basis.

I am looking forward to this new phase in my life.
