Back into the Swing

Basketball is off and running. Wrestlers are up early on the weekend for their scrimmage. Smokers are waiting on the snow. Music department is getting ready for big concert. Math and Debate teams continue their winning ways. Student Council is busy working with charitable service project and a sense able dance policy. Clubs and student activities fill the afternoon. In addition to all the extra-curricular, students go to school, study, take tests, finish projects and hopefully learn like enriching skills.

The high school experience is a constant flow of things and friends and happenings. Finding an identity and place in the greater society is trial and error. Mistakes happen. Some friends are just not worth it. What looked like fun evolved into it's own disaster. Over the years of school not much has changed. Teenagers advance one day at a time. But they are precious days and none can be repeated.

Pay attention to the moods and temperaments. Listen to what is not being said. Watch the circle of "friends.". Were is the money going?

Keep them safe. Hug frequently.
