Scotus Musical

Correct Date Information

The "THIRD" date for the musical that is listed in the Shamrock Lines is wrong. It should read February 17th and 18th at 7 PM and February 19th at 2 PM, instead of February 20th. Please make the correction on your calendar at home. Thanks and sorry for the mistake.

As I prepare this article, it is mid-December, with two weeks to go to the end of the semester, and Christmas break. I know Thanksgiving is the holiday associated with giving thanks, but personally this is my time to give thanks. God has given me so much, including the opportunity to be part of this system and for this I am so thankful. You and I have so much and it is so easy to take all of it for granted. Or it can be easy to focus on how busy we or I are versus appreciating all we have and the gift we have of being so “busy”. It is a blessing; each of us have received, the opportunity to make a difference in this world.

It has been four months since the start of this school year. I get the privilege of watching the members of the senior class grow and the growth from August to now, it is significant. They are more mature, focused and appreciative of the opportunities they have. I see members of the senior class helping younger students and I am oh so thankful!

The same can be said of the 7th graders. They came to Scotus from many different schools but by now have melded into the class of 2017. I have watched them respond to the rigors of being a junior high student. And yes they have grown as a result of the stimulus of being challenged. Rigor is good! There is much to be accomplished, and they are on the right track. I am very thankful to be part of this process.

Speaking of growth, every year I see growth or change somewhere in the curriculum. Everyone who works at Scotus is very proud of the achievements of the students. We also understand how important it is for this institution to continue grow and never be satisfied with the status quo. Scotus Central Catholic will always be “busy” attacking the task of educating our students and looking for ways to improve learning opportunities.

As I search for a way to close this article my mind drifts to this thought. Would if I sat down and tried to list everything I am thankful for. This list would be pages; probably volumes. Now exactly how many things in life really stress me or do I wish might go away. Yes there is a list but it is so short and insignificant compared to the first list. Try it, I bet your results are the same as mine. Yes, I am blessed. High on that list of blessing is being part of this great institution and all the opportunities it presents.
