April Fool's Day - the day of pranks and jokes and silliness.there are many times I have thought that day might have named especially for me. I would be surprised if I am the only person feeling like that at times.
We are on break from high school. 3/4 of the 2011-12 school year is completed. The sports season changes. The Spotlight musical is behind us. We are taking a pause before the move forward to graduation and the completion of another school year. Where has the year gone?
Breaks I the process allows for reflection and renewal. this has been another good year. Several city sport champions, numerous award winners, several high honors in History day, robotics, speech, debate, and math team. Scholarships are being announced daily. Many of our seniors have presented themselves well on ACT and SAT. A good number of underclass students have earn awards and honors in their various activities. Another good year at Southwest.
But also a time of pause to look to new promises and new opportunities. For seniors it is that first step of moving on to college or a different adventure stepping toward adulthood. For the other classes it is time to talk about registration for next year's classes. For some it might be trying to figure out how to stay out of summer school. Frame it may betraying to raise the GPA and tenth.
Regardless of the past three quarters or three years or whatever the time might have been, another year is moving on. I trust we will continue to make good use of the time and the experiences and the opportunities.
