Stallions in the Spotlight
We welcomed back Travis Jackson '10
to present at our annual Senior Spirit Day. Travis finished up his football career and received his bachelor's degree from Michigan State, and returned to Columbus to work as an Account Executive with the IT Consulting Company Brooksource. Aligning with the theme for the school year, "Let Your Light Shine" Travis spoke to the students about how they can shine bright in their senior year. He reminded them that above all else, your attitude and how you treat others is what your legacy will be, and hopes they will take this message to heart for the 2018-2019 school year and beyond.
Kyra Hess '12 recently graduated from Sarah Lawrence College with her Master of Science in Dance/Movement Therapy. After spending two years in New York City studying and interning with individuals with mental health disorders and blindness, she relocated to the Boston area in June. Most recently, Kyra secured a job working as a mental health clinician in an outpatient day treatment facility. Through the use of dance, music, and visual art, Kyra works to promote navigating each day with balance, joy, laughter, and a mindful awareness between the mind and the body.

Last Saturday, SFD alumnus Trevor Howard '12 captured a National Championship on Rings at the US Gymnastics Championships. Congrats Trevor!

Loving Lord, May sacrifices lead to sanctity; May mercy follow sorrow; and May I never cease to trust in You, Who lovingly accompany me. Amen.
