Part of the Experience

It's Friday. Lots of excitement here. End of the 1st quarter, women's volleyball in sectional play and Men's Soccer in State Quarterfinals. Cross Country runners - both men and women - still in the running, swimmers still going strrong. And the Sadies Dance is coming for just an extra bonus.

High School is important and we do have classes that require academic work and attempt to provide quality learning opportunities for all students. But we do understand.

25 years from how they probably are not going to talk about that wonderful fnial they took in class. In fact, it might be hard for them 25 years from now to see how what happened that particular day made a difference in the past 25 years.

But you do know they are going to talk about the events and happenings and who dated who and when someone tripped and all the stuff that is important to teens. We say that but every reunion class I have met still talks about these things so they must remain important as we get older.

I hope that the kids we have now have pleasant stories to tell at their 25 year reunion. I hope it is from a position of security and safety that they can recall their date at Sadies - a few will have married that same person. I hope they feel successful and satisfied with their lives 25 years from now. I want them to tell the funny stories and laugh about the good old days.

I want every day we share together to rewarding and exciting and an adventure. I want it to be memories of working together and being on teams and cheering one another on -- on the field and on the stage and in the classroom.

I wnat each to have a great experience so they can have great memories to share with others 25 years from now.
