When was the last time something, or someone, took your breath away?  Do you recall having your attention captivated in such a way that your heart was filled with joy?

My answer to both include my own children, and the children of Almond.  Our children are remarkable!  They have boundless energy, giving hearts, hilarious personalities, intelligent brains, and caring souls.

Tell them today how amazing you think they are; I certainly will!

Congratulations to all of our children who performed in today’s Musical Performance and the teachers who brought them this far.  You demonstrated courage, perseverance, talent, and yes…joy!  It was visible in your eyes, the way you tapped your toes, and the little extra wiggle that went along with the rhythm.  I am so proud to be your principal.
