Today it was official! Charles was named Principal of Ehrhardt Elementary School! We heard the fantastic news on Wednesday, but we were waiting for the paperwork to be finalized and approval to be given by the Superintendent. Today, his current campus (Kaiser Elementary) and Ehrhardt were both told at early faculty meetings today. Kaiser Elementary was elated when the Principal gave the news. However, I was told by several friends there that there were quite a few tears as well. He will be missed greatly and he has already said he will cherish all of the friends he has made while being there for the last 6 years. Now Ehrhardt Elementary was an even funnier story. Ehrhardt just happens to be where Charles and his brothers went to Elementary School, where Charles first began his teaching career as a Developmental teacher, as well as where his Mom (Gam-ee) worked for about 15 years before retiring to care for Cade/Caelin. So, most of the faculty are already close friends of our family or know Charles as a colleague. When the current Principal shared the news, people were screaming and whooping. I heard that some cried with excitement, and it was quite an affair! Wish I could have been there in person to see it. It makes me so happy to see Charles get the love he deserves. If you have ever worked in schools, you are aware that the Administration can make or break the heart of a campus. I am so proud to say that Charles will totally MAKE that campus better for many years to come. Our family couldn't be prouder to share our lives with such a FANTASTIC community, school, and staff. Soar Ehrhardt Eagles!

Congratulations, Charles! I know the school will be blessed to have you as their Master Servant leader!! (Don't forget to call me when you need a new assistant principal;))
Caelin looks so big! I can't believe I haven't gotten to see either of your precious ones yet! I love your blog, Stacy - miss you!
