HAPPY NEW YEAR

Many feel this is a time to renew our commitments to what or who we want to be. As a school district resumes classes, school employees and students come back from a vacation refreshed and ready to take learning to a higher level. I too get excited when we can officially say, "Wow, we are now in the second half of the year."

Just imagine, we have been in school for about 3 1/2 months while there's just another 3 1/2 months before state testing takes place. Once completed, we start to see the realities of graduation for these 2010 graduates. Juniors start to think like seniors while seniors start to imagine life on a college campus. Administrators start to panic about our readiness for the 2o10-2011 school year.

For me...wow, another year older, but then again, another year better!

Happy New Year Everyone
