From the bottom of this first year Principal's heart, THANK YOU to my friends and former colleagues for pouring into my teachers and students (and me) this year. We felt the love and encouragement all throughout the year. I hope I haven't forgotten anyone: The Ladies of Delta Kappa Gamma, Amanda Galbraith and Arkansas Property Management, Judy Vincent, Diane Rhodes and Shirley Scott, Sherri Coonts, Sandi Schuchardt, Julie James, Taylor Columbus, Beth Davis, Tera White, Barbara Vee, Nancy Willis, and Ragenea Dukes. I hope I didn't miss anyone. I'll be recruiting for next year shortly, but first---some rest!

He did very well on the test of, "do you know...."? as our Oak Grove Hornets were proud to talk about their big siblings at Maumelle High School. Thanks, Dr. Farr !
