On this Christmas morning I'm reminded of a couple of very important things - the first is that Jesus came to Earth over 2000 years ago so that we could have the hope of an eternity in Heaven. The second thing is that He wants us to live a fulfilled and blessed life (not problem-free and not always easy) here on Earth. Today, I am reminded of how blessed I am to be able to work with the best staff, best students, and best parents imaginable. The Lord has truly blessed me and my family. On this Christmas Day, my prayer and hope is that each child in this school district will get to have a day filled with love and peace and that each person receiving this message will know how much I truly love this community and how thankful I am to be able to work with each of you, no matter your role. Merry Christmas!
This message is for students who live on Green Ridge. Teresa just messaged me and told me she was not going to drive Green Ridge today because she's worried about the snow sticking. All of the other hills are early in their routes, but Green Ridge is later and the temperature is dropping so she's not going to run Green Ridge this morning. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Because the other three county schools are having early dismissal tomorrow, our CTC kids will not have school tomorrow.
