Hi Parents!
The student graduation committee of 2011 already met with me this morning! Time does not slow down! I was extremely happy with graduation Sunday. I am writing notes about things to “tweak” for next year. Any suggestions? Comments? I appreciate all of them. As a service for parents, Amy Kennedy shot pictures of each graduate receiving their diploma. This is always a great picture and available for you to purchase (if you want). Just click on the link –

The Class of 2010 is an amazing group of students. Sunday, I shared with the audience,
“The students standing before you have completed the requirements set by board policy and by the state of Iowa.
More importantly they have demonstrated compassion for their classmates and have supported one another in a way that has set an amazing standard of kindness for our high school. Their individual talents and gifts have left a footprint of excellence for the underclassmen to follow. As Kassie and Emily have talked about-- this has been a year of “firsts” and these seniors have embraced them all. They were definitely the right class to usher in a “New Glenwood.” This class is very special. Their beautiful spirit has touched me and all who know them. I will forever remember this class, the first class to graduate from this high school. The class that set a tone for caring and excellence. They will change their world. I know this because they have changed me. I am so happy and proud to say the class of 2010 is ready to receive their diplomas.”
Every class is unique and all are special. I am very proud of all our students. There is a culture of kindness here and the bar for excellence is continually raised. Thank you, parents, for all you do!!
