Be Passionately For Something!!!
We live in a time where people seem to be against everything. Whether its Holidays, raising money for a charitable cause,or honoring a you name it, someone is against it and they will let you know about it. Popular culture calls them "haters." To me, its like a constant bleeting of lambs.
This movement seems to be so pervasive that there seem to be very few people who are actually "for" something. The few that are, many whom are children, seem to be crushed by the overwhelming negativity of the folks who are so loudly against everything.
My challenge to you is to be passionately "for" something and to be so "passionately" for it than everyone who is against it is drowned out by your passion. Make a commitment to make something good happen and no matter what opposition you might face, make it happen. We need more people who make good things happen!
It's better to be a Lion for one day than a Lamb your entire life.

In Memory of Gabriella Miller
Gabriella Miller, affectionately known to many of our students as the "letter girl" for her letter writing campaign to Santa for Macy's and Make a Wish foundation last year, lost her battle with cancer on Saturday night. She lost her battle, but she is a winner! She is a winner because, when faced with almost insurmountable odds, she dedicated her life to making other children's wishes come true. One of her last wishes was to graduate from college and the wonderful team at Shenandoah University made that happen for her.
In her memory and honor, I hope you will join us Friday, Nov. 1st as we wear our favorite college apparel in tribute to her legacy.
Tomorrow is CRAZY COLT DAY!!!
Wear your Crazy Mixed up outfits tomorrow! Crazy hats, crazy hair, crazy shoes, crazy clothes, CRAZY COLTS!

Ruby loves the rain
My dog will only go out in the rain if she's wearing her rain jacket. She loves wearing coats and jackets.
Visiting William and Mary
We visited William and Mary this weekend for my sons first college visit (he's a 7th grader). You can never start too soon and despite the rain, we had a great time.
