I am so tremendously proud of all my kids tonight. We had our 2nd annual film expo and their movies were so well made that we forgot it was only a “high school” event. They put thought and consideration into their craft, and I have no doubt that I will one day be reading the same names that I once called roll for from the big screen in the credits.
I wish my seniors the best of luck and I want those who get them next to know that they are fortunate to be receiving them. These kids are going to make you look good!
