I write this final blog post as a fond farewell, as this is my last week working in the school. I've treasured my time here in Raymond and have grown tremendously from all of our wonderful and challenging experiences. I'll miss each of you greatly and cannot wait to see where the rest of your senior year and your future take you next! Hopefully I will be able to be back up in June to watch you all walk across that greatly-anticipated stage. :)
I want to to express how thankful I am for how welcome the entire school staff has made me feel over these past few months: everyone's been an amazing support to me and, in doing so, has helped me support Cam, Katie, Wesley, and Jade. For that, I am incredibly grateful.
Jade and Cam were able to join me this past Saturday for Hibachi and fro-yo!

March is going to be an important month for a lot of you--it's super important that you each focuses on your grades, your attendance, and on yourselves. Self care and self confidence are two of the greatest keys to success. If these past weeks have taught me anything, it is that you are all bright, capable young adults with every capacity for excellence. Have faith in who you are and in what you can accomplish. The world is yours!
