•Thank you to those of you that came to see the shows at Terrell ! It was so fun to see you there!
•Thank you to Cougar Corner for the food. None was left.
•Thank you to Admin and Leslie for all the paper work it takes to get us here!!
•Thank you to my Fellow Fine Arts Directors and Athletic Coaches. I know having flexibility with limited time between all we do with our kids is often overlooked, but I truly appreciate having a team that is understanding 🖤.
If you see any of the kids that make my program what it is, please acknowledge the hours of work that they put into a play for 10 weeks on average. Again, thank you so much. It takes a village 🖤.
