LETTER
FROM THE
 PRINCIPAL
|
Parents,
The weather has certainly played a significant role in our school year thus far! The heat and humidity have made teaching and learning a challenge over the last week, but I have been very impressed with the ability of our students and teachers to stay focused and move forward. This is no easy task!
The storms on Friday certainly put a damper on the excitement of the Beavercreek football game, but once again our students rose to the occasion. They were spirited and positive and handled themselves with class throughout the night. Keeping a few thousand people safe during a two-hour lightning delay is not something I want to do again, but I left knowing that the job was made much easier because of our outstanding community. Not only were the kids cooperative, but many faculty, staff and parents stepped up to keep things under control.
Between athletics and band, there were many opportunities for our students to achieve success and display the Carroll Spirit this weekend. Although, the scores were not always in our favor, our community pride rang true and made it a great time to be a Patriot!
Have a great week!
Matt
