I looked in the mirror this morning and I thought “It’s MAY!”  Can you believe it’s May already?  When I was younger May was so important to me because it is the month I was born and it meant that school was almost over.  As we set our site on the culmination of the school year, graduation, we work diligently, daily, to make sure that we finish the 2012-2013 school year in a strong fashion.  We also look ahead to next school year and the many new faces we will have on both sides of the desks.  May is a very busy month as our calendar indicates:

May 1              Junior Class meeting, Cap and Gown Delivery

May 3              Prom and After Prom

May 4              SAT

May 8              Spring Band Concert

May 9 & 10     Class of 2014 yearbook pictures taken

May 10            Senior trip

May 11            CARR club car show

May 13            Senior Dinner

May 15            Spring Sing Choir Concert

May 17            Honor Day, Graduation practice

May 20            Finals period 2 and 4

May 21            Finals period 6 and 8

May 22            Finals period 1 and 3

May 23            Finals period 5 and 7, last day for students

May 24            Teacher record day, teacher last day

June 2              Baccalaureate, Commencement

Years ago I wanted May to “go fast” to get to my birthday and then get to the end of the school year.  Times have changed and so has my opinion of May.  When I see the older man in the mirror, and I know it’s May, I want the time to go slow.  We have much to do before the end of school and adding one more year to my age is not as fun as it used to be.

Sincerely,

Greg Prange
