School Principals...
Yesterday was the last day of school and it brings up a lot of emotions and students and staff will be missed. One thing that is never missed over the summer is getting the substitute list each morning. Celebrate that no one is absent today!

6 people won't be going home to their families tonight, 3 of them children. It's not because of drag shows, it's not because of CRT, it's not because WOKE agendas, it's because someone who had easy access to assault weapons decided to murder people and was able to act on that.

Don't talk about it, do it! On June 25, 2022 I decided to make sure that, no matter what, I would do at least 100 pushups and 100 sit-ups/ crunches a day for the entire year. Yesterday, I completed that and I feel good. Most days 160 or more but always at least 100.
