We're almost there!!! Next week will be filled with exciting activities and I am sure that staff and students alike are ready for a much needed break. While this break has taken forever to get here, it is hard to believe that we are 75% done with the school year. I was in a class this week that had me to reflect on our school and the progress we have made this year.  We really have come far in a short time.  The small things that we have done have paid off in big rewards.  Rarely does a day go by that I don't hear from a teacher, student or parent that has something exciting to say about Greene Central. 

When I ran track in high school, one of my favorite events was the mile.  This 1600 meter race requires 4 laps around the track.  In the first lap you fight to establish your position among the group. In the second and third laps you pace yourself and hold that position.  The fourth lap is when the race really begins.  In this last lap, you try to see who can start to out-sprint each other first, and who can hold that sprint the longest.  This single lap separates the runners from the racers.  We are now in our fourth lap of the school year.  Much like the mile race, we are tired from the laps we have finished, and now the race really begins.  It will take will-power, support and strength to finish strong, but I know that we can do it! Have a great weekend and come back ready for a short week!
