Finish STRONG!
I can remember being told, and know I have repeated to children and faculty members and teams I was blessed to coach, FINISH STRONG. I know as a fan of sports that races are often lost, or games lost, in the final few strides or minutes. This happens for many reasons including a belief that I have won or will win. Maybe for some it is overconfidence. It could be from fatigue, or sadly for some acceptance of defeat. A year ago, I shared our theme for 2024-2025 to ASPIRE HIGHER, in our words, actions and attitudes. I have been encouraged this year by our community and, while never perfect, our care for each other! I also know as we race toward May 22, many are tired. Please keep on keeping on. Keep striving, with all HIS STRENGTH, which is POWERFULLY at work within you (Colossians 1:29)!
Run well, through the finish line, in our words, our actions and our attitudes. See you at the finish line!
