Mr. Stone’s Thoughts of the Week…

It’s May! So close! I always love the end of the year, and dislike the idea of losing a group of wonderful Seniors, many who I have hung out with for the last 6 years. I love hearing where they’re going, hearing what they’re going to study and seeing the whole world in front of them ready for the taking. It’s a great time! I wish them all great success and with the request to come back and share how life is going.
 
Good luck on APs this week. Everyone needs to come see the amazing performers on the Concerto Concert this Friday. It’s going to be a great concert.
 
Take care, have fun! And enjoy the Week!
