Week Beginning May 9, 2022

A massive thank you to everyone who chaperoned the Journey trips! What a remarkable feat to accomplish so successfully after multiple years off! A special high five to John, Kyle, and Will for doing a remarkable job of leading the groups in the moment. Having seen John and Kyle in action firsthand, I can say for sure that they have more energy and pep in their step than I could ever have! In regards to Will, well, when the HOS school sends me a text message after the trip stating how impressed he was with his leadership and his amazing way with kids, I can only respond that that is just who Will is, all the time!

Truly team, thank you all for being away from your families for these trips. Thank you for making our kiddos the priority above sleep, personal space, and all the adult things we appreciate and need. Your ability to focus on them while lacking coffee and also being pushed to the edge of your own comfort zone, speaks volumes. Thank you for being present and engaged with each experience even at the hardest times and remaining positive and supportive to all. The kids felt it, the families will hear about it, and I've seen it. I am so happy these Journeys all occurred but boy, I am also glad to be home :-)

 Action Items

  • MS DANCE: Yes, the last one is just around the corner this week! If you have not yet chaperoned one, Shelli will be sending out a reminder early this week. If you would simply like to pop along, the more the merrier!
