Welcome to Season 4 of #Between2BlueDevils! To launch this new season I am actually going back to an interview from last April. Not gonna lie, in the chaos of wrapping up last school year I kind of forgot about this interview. It wasn't until a few days ago that Madame Metzger and I were chatting and she asked me whatever happened to her interview with me. My response..."We haven't recorded and I can't wait to interview you!" She then proceeded to tell me all kinds of details from our interview that I had forgotten. Sure enough, when I pulled up my files on my computer there it was...the missing Metzger Files!

I just finished listening to it before posting it and just hearing her share her story brings so much joy to the room.

Part of the reason it has taken some time to launch season 4 of the podcast is because I have taken on a new role as assistant principal at THS. In my new position one of the perks is that I get to hop into classrooms everyday and observe our incredible teachers. On the very first day of school I happened to be walking past Julie's room and all I heard was her singing in French to her new students. On day one she was creating a culture of joy and positivity in her classroom. It is no wonder why her students love her so much.

Julie's story is one of passion for her craft, passion for her family, and passion for her faith and it is inspiring. 

It is an honor to share this interview with you. Sit back and enjoy it. Grab a cup of coffee, prop your feet up, and prepare to smile.

Remember, everyone has a story worth telling. Would you like to tell yours? Please reach out by filling out this Google Form.

Thanks for listening.
