Moved to the Core

Please allow me to start by saying thank you for taking the time to read my ponderings. I do love to talk, but I have never been one to journalize. This is a first for me.

We have gotten off to a fantastic start at LFC. The students, staff and parents are excited and seem to be happy that school has started. I certainly am pleased that we had a smooth opening.

As a lifetime educator, and the son of educators, I have always enjoyed teaching and learning. This moment, however, has been one to cherish. We spent time this summer preparing for the arrival of our Spartans. The office staff diligently ordered supplies, registered new students, and hired new faculty members. However, nothing was more satisfying than seeing the smiling faces of our students as they left their buses and made a beeline to their new teachers. It was a magical, transformational moment for me.

Finally, once each Spartan was safely and happily in his or her place, I became overjoyed and could no longer suppress my happiness. “Words can not speak the joy that rushes to my cheek.” I have been moved to the core by this amazing experience.
