Seniors - Just a Note
It just hit me. Hard. These kiddos - yes these ones. The students that I have seen and dealt with for the past six years are done. They're not coming back. And while I'm happy for them, I'm sad for myself.
What felt like endless days of high school are now over for you.You don't get to go back and do over. What you've done is done and cannot be changed. Those mistakes that still make you cringe? Done. Over. That one time when you and your best friend laughed so hard your sides hurt? It's a memory now - something that you will cherish for the rest of your life. But it too is done.
You will make more mistakes and you will laugh again, but it will be different - no two days are alike. If I could tell you one thing before you leave these halls just a little emptier - a little sadder - live your life with the knowledge that you will never get to do today again. Don't rush your life away. Embrace the good times, and pray your heart out over the bad times. Because bad times and good times come to every one of us.
So before you all are gone, Seniors, you're starting a new chapter of your life, and it's an exciting one. You will make mistakes. Learn from them. You will make choices. Take the responsibility for them. You will make decisions. Follow through with them.
And from us here as we stay behind and watch you spread your wings, thank you for blessing us and being with us. For teaching us as we endeavored to teach you. You have impacted our lives as we have hopefully impacted yours.
We will miss you. We will pray for you. Come by and see us one day when you're near. You'll be a welcome sight.

Thank You. Again.
It's been a whopper of a year, hasn't it? There were good times and there were not so good times. But by the grace of God, we made it through and I want to thank you. Not for just one thing but for many. Thank you for the smiles you gave when I felt down and out or stressed and stretched. Thank you for the coffees you brought, the doughnuts, the Crumbl Cookies, the, well, everything you've done through the year. I think you're pretty splendid. All those things didn't go unnoticed and unappreciated. You, yes you, made my days so good and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
July Mailout
I don't know about you, but I plan on enjoying every single second of this summer. I am going to throw myself into the sun and bask in it. Of course I'll be thickly slathered with sunscreen, but it'll be worth it. Make sure we have the correct address on file because you're going to want to receive the July Mailout in July. It's a bit redundant I know, but I have been asked this very question many times. There will be a ton of information that you're going to want to know in that packet.

- Sloths can hold their breath longer than dolphins. I bet they can't swim nearly as good, though.
- Contrary to popular belief, Froot Loops are all the same flavor. So those red ones that you save, they're the same flavor as the lesser liked colors. So eat them already.
- You know how people take selfies with the 'duckface'? Well, it looks like it may not be a new fad after all. Instead of saying 'cheese' in the late 1800's, people used to say 'prunes'.
- If you've never been happy that God created you a human being, here you go. Lobsters taste with their feet. Which is kinda gross if we're going to be honest. Can you imagine if God had made us that way as well? Ew!
