March 2023

 

Time keeps marching on and March welcomes Spring.

Clocks have been sprung forward yet again, but why?

While Winter Weather lingers into Spring, with Rain and Wind.

The flowers have started to blossom,

Inhaling us with Inspiration.

Filling us with Hope.

As we await the birth of the Sun...

and the Summer months.

Class of 2020

Congratulations Class of 2020!!!

You have reached the end of your educational journey.

A journey that has been filled with difficult challenges.

A journey that began in the shadows of a post 9/11 world.

A journey with an unprecedented financial collapse.

A journey with tragedy and loss of innocent lives.

A journey whose path became steeper and more dangerous with every passing moment.

A journey that would make even the most well trained people abandon it...

But not you.

You stay through it to the end.

You stay through it day after day, year after year.

You stay through it by persevering.

By making course corrections while maintaining your heading.

By adapting to new technology and means of communication.

By helping each other out and ensuring no one would be left behind.

Even as you were presented with more unprecedented challenges,

An unknown virus, personal sanitation, stay at home orders, mandated masks,

A death at the hand of those responsible for the protection of the people.

You wore your caps and gowns,

You logged on through your devices,

And you became the newest graduates,

The Class Of 2020.

Congratulations!!!

September 2016

"September is now here and we have started a new school year.

New classmates, new classrooms, new teachers, new t-shirts.

Old classmates, old classrooms, old teachers, old t-shirts.

We all have a chance to begin on a good note and start on the right foot."

"It is the start of a journey, the beginning of an adventure.
Sometimes the path will be easy-going and straight forward.
Sometimes the path will challenge us to take a step back.
And every once in a while a fork on the road will offer a choice.

"So let us all, all of us, plan the best and safest route.
And reroute our direction if we ever get lost.
Let us all help each other reach the end of the school year.
And together as one we'll be able to cheer."
