Dear Pirate Family,
Over the past few weeks I’ve spent several hours and days reflecting and praying over our students, teachers, staff, and families. We are all in uncharted waters and at times it seems the storm is just too powerful and the fear is just too much. But as I spent time discussing the times with my children at home I was reminded that even in the midst of the most powerful storm on the horizon is the most beautiful future awaiting. We can never truly prepare for the unknown but look forward to the future reflecting on the past and all that we learned along the way.
I hope and pray no matter what is going on in your life today that you know the sun is on the horizon and we are constantly lifting you up and we are here for you no matter what your going through. We are not perfect and we will make mistakes, but we are all in this together. We may not be family in the sense of living in the same house, but we are a Pirate family and family is there through the storm no matter the past.
My top priority has always been and will always be our students and We will never stop evaluating what is best for them. We love you and hang in there tomorrow is on its way!!
Big thank you to Patti Carson and ASU-Beebe for the fantastic presentation and assistance to our Concord Pirate Seniors this morning!
