Yesterday was Bridge
Day for 8th graders in Lawrence County, Kentucky. On Bridge Day, the
8th graders from our three middle schools, Louisa, Fallsburg and
Blaine, come together in an attempt to build the high school community. Louisa
students are Bulldogs, Fallsburg students are Dragons and Blaine students are
Wildcats but when they come together in the Fall of 2013, they will be the
Lawrence County High School Class of 2017, all of them Bulldogs. We had a great
day with about 170 8th graders engaged in a number of activities and
listening to speakers on pertinent topics designed to help them make the
transition to high school life. One of the speakers was a gentleman named Mike
Hall and he did an excellent job focusing the children on their potential as
leaders and the fact that they can be a positive influence on those around
them. Check Mike out at: http://www.mikeisspeaking.com or on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/mikeisspeaking .
What is your excuse?
I discovered
something that I did not know, so, when I learn something, I hope you learn
something as well. On this date in 1903, Walt’s youngest sibling and only
sister was born while they were living in Chicago, Illinois. Ruth F. Disney,
later Ruth Beecher rounded out the Disney family and, while I knew that Walt
had a sister named Ruth, I did not realize that her birthday was the day after
Walt’s birthday only two years apart. I think that it is appropriate that, with
Walt being all about family, they should have birthdays on consecutive days.
Ruth lived in Oregon and had a son named Ted, so let’s celebrate Walt’s family
by celebrating our own. How about the Osborn Family Lights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios? This seasonal
attraction is not only all about a man’s love for his family but about the
special season that we have entered at this time, the Christmas season.
Remember, your best
excuse is always: waiting for your dreams to come true.
