First Day Reflections

So much happens on day 1 of a school year. It starts with a handshake. We greet kinder students and welcome them to education- a journey that will end with a final handshake and diploma. Our handshake is one of promise- we will dedicate our best to you young man and young woman. We believe in you and in your unique giftings that will add so much to our community. It is the first handshake- and we stand behind it.

On the Porch

As the morning brings a brand new day, I sit on the porch reflecting on how precious life is. Today students will fill our halls with hopes, wonders, giggles and the anticipation of someone believing in them. I see the back yard project almost complete (summer "honey do lists) and feel like there is joy in my heart. I am amazed at how fast that summer flew by- and I want to remember that each day is a gift. I couldn't imagine a better way to enjoy this gift then to invest all I have in this next generation.
