Eight years ago as I was about to embark on my ‘first’ opening day as an administrator, a trusted mentor of mine said to me, “RELAX! You have three jobs tomorrow: get them in, feed them, and get them home but do all of that SAFELY! As long as you do those things your first day is a success!”

While I can not say we did those things quickly today, I can assure you we did them safely. I appreciate all of your patience as we work to start this year off in a safe and positive manner.

The day flew by at Ruggles Lane – based on what was seen today, we are in for a positive year of learning! I look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow for day 2!
