Time For A Break

In just about another hour, students and most staff will go on break for the next 10 days. Given the winter we've enjoyed (?) this year, I believe this break will be a welcome relief.

I've alluded on several occasions to the difficult times in Michigan and the negative impact on people and their moods. Frankly, it's been tough around here.

The "Final Four", being held in Detroit last week gave us a bit of a respite from the winter doldrums. And thank goodness the Spartans made it all the way to the final song of the big dance because I think it really enhanced the atmosphere for the entire region. There was much to feel good about for that long weekend, however, it didn't seem to take long for that positive energy to dissipate.

As we head into spring break I wish everyone the opportunity to enjoy family and friends. This is the time to get re-energized for the remainder of this school year.

I've always believed that angry adults create angry kids. It is incumbent upon all of us that work with today's youth to do what we can to find the silver lining among all these clouds. Best of luck to each of you as you look for the bright side.
