The Beginning
Wow, these have been whirlwind days! My excitement about joining the Kennedy community has literally driven me to put lots of miles on my car in commuting from Cleveland to Warren. I can’t seem to help myself from spending as much time as I can at the school.
During my visits I have had the chance to spend some time with the dedicated auction team - these ladies are amazing! I’ve been told that I haven’t seen an auction until I’ve been at Just For Kicks. My wife, Mandy and I are greatly looking forward to the event - not only to bid on some incredible items but also to meet you. There may even be an interesting live auction item that I will help sell – I suppose you will have to make plans to be there to find out what it is!
In the course of the last two weeks I have been impressed and inspired by:
The hospitality of the Kennedy faculty and staff, the kindness of June Drennen, the vision of Jill Phillips, the focus of a junior track star on his way to practice, the generosity of a dedicated yearbook advisor, the vibrancy of the NDS Home and School Association, the coffee or dinner shared with passionate board members, the spirit of Coach Napolet, the professionalism of our basketball coaches, and of course the support of our Bishop and Office of Catholic Schools.
This is only the beginning . . . the beginning of counting our blessings and the beginning of our work together!
