A Few Notes…
FINALS…OH FINALS
Now the long, slow march toward graduation begins with what might be one of the greater challenges…FINALS. Sure, these can be stressful moments, yet they too are some real preparation for the next level of education to come. What is key to finals, and actually the key to any kind of decision making, is preparation. The effort to do the best before a special day, special event or even a test can have such a great effect upon the outcome.
During this time, all of us ask for your prayers and patience, your attention and support, your care and love. Tests will come and go, but the support we can give to our graduating class is really the greatest tradition about this passing from one experience to another. What these students will remember, from this week forward, is how we (parents, family, friends and teachers) were there during this time…before all the good stuff happens.
Our graduating class has come somewhat full circle as people and as students. They have been open to the lesson while letting the school experience become important for them to participate in and achieve at a higher level. With God’s help these next week’s will be memorable not for the activities, but rather for the special moments…planned and unplanned….and how special is that?
Peace to you,
Mr. León
