CONGRATULATIONS and welcome back :)
I will write a much longer post soon, but as soon as we got back to NC I got hit with a MAJOR DEADLINE.
So, in the meantime: let me echo Dr. Smith’s announcement about Benny! Congratulations, Benny! We couldn’t be more proud.
Let me add that while we were in Arkansas Trayonna received a call from the Children’s Defense Fund that she has been accepted to participate in their Youth Advocate Leadership Training (YALT) weekend in April. The goals of the YALT weekend are to develop young leaders to take the mantle in the fight for social justice.
When I think of these honors and when I think of the work YOU ALL did in Stephens, I have hope that my children will grow into adulthood in a world that is more equal than the one they were born in to. I have all of you to thank for my optimism.
Welcome back to spring semester. I know you’ll never forget the experiences of our spring break.
More to come…
