Its time to move on, time to get going
What lies ahead I have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing
Its time to move on, it s time to get going

Worst part of being an international teachers is saying good-bye to the people who become your family wherever it is you are. We are losing a lot of wonderful “family” members this year, its tough, but perhaps toughest on those staying put?

To the people moving on from CMS, good luck, drop us a line every once in a while and we’ll catch you on the flip side.
