Today is National Teacher Day.  Few other professionals touch as many people as teachers do and make many contributions to our communities every day.  They are role models with much responsibility.  Thanks for Making Our School Year Bright – We don’t know what we would do without you!

We will be sharing advice from this year’s graduating class to the freshman as well as something from their bucket list in the announcements for the next few days:

       Brittlyn Garrett has a trip to Japan on her bucket list.  She advises the underclassmen  to “Think more, talk less”.
