A Tuesday Full of Choices.

Coaching Junior High Baseball has kept me extra-busy the past 8 weeks. I hope to write more often when the season ends. I did want to take minute to thank the parents that attended the Post-Prom organizational meeting last night. The Post-Prom is a good thing. It provides a safe environment with fun, friends and food. Not to mention, students can win prizes just for making a smart choice to avoid potential trouble. On the same note, we had a guest speaker yesterday on the topic of life choices ad being there for others. The speaker was Eddy Weiss. I asked Lucas Brown to introduce Eddy because Lucas plays a major role in TMD. TMD is a group at school that promotes making good choices and working with the younger students in the district. Last night the group had a "Kick-off Party" @ the HS and had 33 kids show and 15 others wanted to come but had sporting or work commitments. To have more than 10% of our HS enrollment in such a group is amazing. TMD was started just 3 years ago and has quickly grown and made itself visible in the district. Mrs. Erin Emery (HS English) and Ally Brown(class of 2010) started the program and should be commended for the groups success and purpose. So, I guess today's thoughts all tie-in with making good choices. "Kids will be kids" translates to."they won't always make the best choices"....but, it is nice to know that we have positive options for them like Post Prom and TMD.
Have a great day
