One of my favorite things is also that it is very team-oriented. I love being out on the court with my teammates....

It's that time of year for seniors - college application season. College applications are many things, one of which is not easy. Speaking from experience, they're a bit of a chore - sort of like cleaning my room, with added importance, of course.

I hear a constant knocking these days, reminding me to get...

The equity statement, unlike the strategic plan did not include the whole community and was not board approved. Formed in 2020, CELT conducted a survey asking for...
I have mixed feelings about Facebook, but sometimes I can't help sharing the memories that pop up in my news feed. Just this week, Facebook presented a photo of Ainsley dressed as a Precious Pink Wabbit for her first Halloween. I couldn't help but share it. A lot has changed since Ainsley's first Halloween. Most importantly, I am no longer in charge of her costumes. This year, she is going as John Lennon (she can pull that off easier than her favorite Beatle, Paul McCartney)....
