It was an honor to be chosen as the host school for the Jostens Renaissance Better Than Good Tour! Students from 28 area High Schools attended to hear keynote speakers and participate in breakout sessions. The focus of the day was creating a positive environment. Some lines from the keynote speakers included, "If you talk behind someone's back, you will always be behind them," and "You don't choose your life, but you do get to choose how to live it." Another important line for student leaders was, "They won't follow what you say, but they will follow what you do." These are powerful words for our young people as well as adults!

Sometimes I'm driving down I-75 and I get a glimpse of the construction going on at the High School, then I remember --- Eyes Up, Phones Down, Go Slow (but not too slow because I'm on the highway). This time I was in the passenger seat and able to get some pictures to share!
Tonight's game was amazing having our Pee-wee teams and their parents. I'd like to thank everyone who came out to support our kiddos!

Not everything you read on social media is true, but we heard a rumor that we confirmed. We even got pictures! The West Carrollton Fire Department came out to the Middle School football team practice to provide some cooling relief. It also gave the athletes an opportunity to learn how to play in the rain. The best part is it was fun for everyone!
