Cynthia Newson and Rhiannon Johnson reflect  “Education has a value that sometimes cannot be quantified.  If you ever doubt your journey look within instead of looking outside.  Deep inside your heart lies answers to all questions of life, no one else but you, and your thoughts will keep you afloat in strife.  Keep working hard, and focus on your long-term goal.  It’s not the excuses that count, but the fire in your soul.”–author unknown while Kimberly Carpenter’s heart encourages everyone to follow your dream!

As chair of the Education Committee, I hope you will take the time to congratulate seniors this year. Thank you for the sponsors for stepping up and making this year’s recipients have a personalized celebration!

Thank you
