Seniors - Words of Wisdom

Congratulations Seniors!  You made it!  Today was your last day of high school and the celebrations of the upcoming weekend will pay tribute to the hard work and dedication you have displayed over the last four years.  I was fortunate enough to see many of my seniors today and I think a lot of you shared similar thoughts and feelings.  I heard often that it was hard to believe how fast the last 4 years had gone.  You are ready to move on to the next stages of your lives and there is excitement about finishing high school, but for many of you there was also a bitter-sweet feeling about leaving your friends and the familiarity of high school behind.

As you spend time over the next few weeks reflecting back on your high school career, please consider passing along some of your words of wisdom.  You have created a positive impression and many of the younger students look up to and admire you.  I'm sure you can remember some of the older students who made an impression on your life and this is your opportunity to pass along the gift of your wisdom to those who will continue in high school.  Let the younger students know what you are glad you did, what you wish you would have done differently, and other suggestions and tips for being successful and making the most of their high school years.  As you share your insights, you may never fully realize the difference that you have made, but you can be sure that your legacy will continue to make a positive impact in the years ahead.

On a separate note, I want to congratulate the Kilbourne Girls Lacrosse team who won the Regional Championship tonight!  The girls have secured a spot in the Final Four of the State Championship weekend.  Their game will be June 1st in Cincinnati.  Congratulations girls!  I am so proud and excited for you!
