What it is all about

Yesterday was graduation - for the seniors and for me! Although I am not yet a senior citizen, my work at DHS is done and it feels a bit like someone has adopted my children and sent me to another happy place. I kinda don't mind all the work type stuff that is over, but I hope the human connections are not. Jane M - you have been a joy to work with - always smiling, upbeat (and some downbeats too!), interesting and my go-to person for all things important - you have the pulse of the school at your fingertips and I loved tapping into that. I will continue to inquire about the latest cool website and the gossip. I will follow your blog and try your recipes too! Thank you for being you.
And to all the band geeks (aka the coolest kids in the world - cwiw) - you know who you are - KC, JW, KO, LW, DT, SC, ZH, M and MC, AK, MS, T and CS, CW (okay, that could be me, but not!) AN, WT, JC, C and DL, BP and KB - you have now been elevated to leadership status and must carry the DHS Band legacy along. Keep practicing in the face of complacency and don't let the other guys win! It has been a great few years with you and I respect your enthusiasm and talent. Thanks for the great send off, but this isn't good-bye - it is "I'll see you again soon!" Keep me posted on all the good stuff that happens to you - and any of the other stuff too! Love you guys. (no crying, KO, serious is over-rated.)
