One of my favorite holidays is almost here! Thanksgiving!  I always try to stop and think about the many things in life that I am thankful for.  Sometimes it is easy for us to think about things that concern us, but let’s find joy in the things that we are thankful for.

I am thankful that I have family and friends that love and support me.  They all continue to cheer me on and stand with me through this journey of life.  I am thankful.

I am thankful for a great church family.  The encouragement of my pastor and the members of Antioch Missionary Baptist Church have been a great part of my life.  I am thankful.

I am thankful for the progress that has been made with my knee.  The injury that I sustained the last week of June has been one of the hardest things that I have had to deal with.  It all happened for a reason, and I am thankful for progress!  I am thankful!

I am thankful for the faculty and staff of Corsicana High School.  It is a blessing to serve as your leader.  I am thankful for the support you have shown since I transitioned to CHS.  I am thankful!

I am thankful for the students of Corsicana High School.  I have been with many of you for several years, and each year just gets better.  I thank you for putting up with me for so long.  You are awesome!  I am thankful!

I am thankful for the community of Corsicana, TX.  Thank you for allowing me to serve as principal here for the past 5 1/2 years.  I am thankful!

I have many other things that I am thankful for.  I may include more here later.  Let’s all take time over the next two weeks to think about things that we are thankful for.

I want to give a shout out to the cast and crew of “Tarzan the Musical!”  What a great show!  I enjoyed every bit of it.  Go CHS Fine Arts!

I want to thank Coach Prevost and his staff for hosting such a great tournament.  The girls also did a great job in the tournament.  They won every game and only came up short in the end against 5A Crowley.  Our girls will have a home game Monday beginning at 5:30 against Kemp.  Shout out to the boys basketball team for their win over Terrell.  They played a great game.  Let’s keep the wins coming! They will be at home Tuesday against Cleburne beginning at 5:30 pm.  Home of Champions!

This week we will have two induction ceremonies.  The first ceremony will take place Monday.  Several of our students will be inducted into the Jose’ Antonio Navarro Chapter of the National Spanish Honor Society.  This is also a new organization for us at Corsicana High School.  We will also induct new members into the PAC-10 this Tuesday.  We will induct sophomores into the organization.

Remember to take time to think about the things you are most thankful for.
