My first day at my school counseling internship my mentor pulled me aside and said, "Sarah, people here hate you simply because you are a counselor." Now, me being the people pleaser I am thought I would turn that around because I am THAT awesome. Boy have the last 3 years shot my ability to charm people to pieces!
Every year at the end of the year we hand out Comprehensive Guidance surveys to students, parents, and teachers. Yesterday we received the results of last May's survey. It wasn't the worst results possible, but they weren't exactly peachy. The most disheartening were the teacher results. My former mentor's words came back loud and clear. When the statistician finished reviewing what the teachers thought of us he simply said, "It may be time for a PR campaign." Apparently all my efforts trying to please the teachers at Valley Jr. High has been a waste of my time. I guess before I make it sound like ".... everybody hates me, I guess I'll go eat worms!" I should make a few things clear. Only 18 of our 45 teachers turned their surveys into us. There were a couple positive responses (thanks Kjersti!), but the negative ones were REALLY negative and skewed the very small amount of date toward the negative.
I have made cookies several times to put in the Faculty Room over the past 3 years, but I thought maybe one more try would do the trick (am I naive or what?!) Last year around Halloween my mom told me that her Relief Society president had made cookies shaped like witch fingers to take to sisters in their ward. I have wanted to try it ever since and I had a stroke of genious today.... I'll make Halloween cookies and a cute card wishing all the teachers Happy Halloween. How cute am I?!
After an evening full of baking here are the results...
My fingers are crossed!
