Congratulations! And how exciting. Working for a school is such a great job for a mum. School hours and school holidays. Well done. Wishing you all the best.

Aww this is great Echo! I know how excited you must be. I felt this way when I got my sub job. I know the money is not great, but I just RELISH my own paycheck. I hope you like the FT job. It is perfect that you can work in your own district, at your own school no less.

^ You have a great point about my own district. A friend of mine works at school here in our district, but her children attend school in a neighboring town. While start and end dates are pretty similar, she often has a conflict with spring or winter breaks being the week following or preceeding ours. So she often has to request time off the week before or after our break to have time with her kids. I am lucky that mine will correspond to my children's time off!

Congratulations, who knows what doors this will open. In the meantime vacation money sounds wonderful!
