Last weekend we got our biggest snowstorm in more Last weekend we got our biggest snowstorm in more than a decade. I think this sign predicted it. It was up before Thanksgiving break, and I wanted to take a picture of the sign before it snowed, but I didn’t. Thursday morning, officer Hedge and I battled the morning carline and won. Well sort of… we got most of the cars in before eight. but still had a line. We cleaned it up and sent the stragglers in just after the morning bell. The photo was taken at 8:04, no cars we ate and left no crumbs. #middleschool #GenAlpha #slang #winter #bruh

This past July, I was able to fulfill dream and vi This past July, I was able to fulfill dream and visit the Netherlands American Cemetery near Margraten, Netherlands. I don’t know anyone or have a family member who is buried there. My only connection is through a story I first learned of in 2016 about a young Dutch boy who adopted PFC James E Wickline’s grave when he was thirteen years old in 2002. For more than a decade this boy was curious and full of wonder (and respect and awe, too) about this soldier and his life which ended on this day in 1944. Wickline was 21 when he died parachuting into the Netherlands in Operation Market Garden.
