I have some awesome colleagues and really enjoy spending time with them. But sadly I don't see much of them over the summer. We just never seem to get together because of conflicts. I've had a lunch here or there but that's all.
Today I spoke to a few of them as we gear up for the new year. It always makes me wonder how the summer can slip away with so little contact.
How about you? Do you get together just to socialize over the summer?

Not always as much as we think we will. The time seems to fly by and then it's over and we haven't done lunch or whatever.
I have a group of three really close friends at school and we do get together several times over the summer, more depending on if we are working on a project or something.

I got together with my friends from my old school several times over the summer, and I hope we'll keep doing so during this year even though we're not working together anymore. I'm not sure I'm going to survive this new job without them! LOL

None this summer, but other summers with other co-workera, quite a bit.
I thibk it depends on if there are many teachers your age at your school

We get together a few times to plan the year and work on curricula. No socializing. Just meeting to work.

Well, we did a lunch or two but no, life happens and summer gets away. We have good intentions though..luckily there is a group of 3 or 4 of us who text a lot all year including summer.

I had a breakfast or lunch at least once a week, which means I saw individual people at least once a month, or about 2or 3 times during the summer. Teachers went back to school last Thursday.

My teaching partner is my best friend. We see each other quite a bit and text a lot. I haven't really seen anyone else though.

I saw them a lot over the summer. We usually do a summer trip and then get together for gambling, lunch OR academic reasons.

We Facebook and text, but have not gotten together. To be honest, I have worked so much this summer that I haven't had time to miss them. I keep seeing them at work!
We are a close staff, but I think time away is a good thing.

I text a lot and there are about 4 friends I will see during the summer for a lunch date or movie.
I have one teacher friend I take a couple road trips with each year.

We have pretty different lives/schedules, so we usually only get to meet up once.
