Fall Semester Update

Being Thankful

The annual gathering of family for turkey, dressing, football and pumpkin pie which traditionally occurs during Thanksgiving week is a week in the past at this point. I always have enjoyed this time of year which causes me to pause and to be so appreciative for all the many blessings that I tend to take for granted.

I have decided to not await the next holiday or to wait on New Years to make new resolutions for the upcoming year. I want to be grateful and to show my appreciation every day for those in my life and for the opportunities that avail themselves to me each day.

Past and Present Carroll Dragons continue to make a difference wherever they are planted and we are proud of each and all of them. From students succeeding in the professional world, collegiate level to our high school students. They are winning and succeeding in all arenas.
