Good Bye Park Place

For the last 2 years I have had the pleasure of working at Park Place Elementary in Oregon City. It has been a dream job. One of my best friends Tina is my boss, we have the most warm and welcoming staff and the cutest most fun kids.
Tuesday Park Place closed for good due to budget cuts. It has been around since the 1860's, and some staff has worked there for over 30 years. All 265 kids are going to be divided between 2 nearby schools. All but 3 teachers will have jobs which is great. Tina and I are not directly affected because we work for the district and will be put at another school. Out of all the schools in Oregon City, Park place was most envied for its warm staff and well behaved kids. I have met such amazing, genuine people. The kids are a riot and at times very challenging, but I wouldn't have it any other way. These people have touched my life and taught me soo much!! It is so surreal that the school is closing. When you work with people for so long they become like a little family. It is really sad to see it go.I am so thankful to have been a part of the Park Place Family!

These are 2 of the best women I know
