good morning Knievel High School Panthers happy Friday I hope this Friday finds you well but I won't lie to you it's been it's been a tough week between just the stresses of distance learning and the ongoing covid-19 crisis to fires here in California power outages technology issues you know the loss of loss of a teacher the loss of a friend those are all those are all hitting another hit me hard and I can only imagine it's it's affecting all of us in different ways I don't want to share I just want to share it I don't know how many people know this but back in 1993-94 I was a freshman in McKinleyville high school and Mr boydston was doing a student teaching and so who's actually did a student teaching in my class and I got I got to know him and he actually talked me into going out for football my my sophomore year I've never played and and then ended up coaching me for the rest of the rest of my high school career and I share that with you not because it's about me but because once I got out of high school as Mr boydston that asked me to come back and coach amakye and I really fell in love when work on high school students and it really put me on the path to give me into the career that I'm lucky enough to two now have and I share that with you because I think it just demonstrates the impact and Mister boys out of my life and I know mine is not the only one to just good memories that that I get to take with me and I know that everybody processes our grief differently but remembering the good things in the positive things about the people that we care about when they're gone is something that's comforting for me and three is so you know I think it just speaks to the power of community you know it was a community as part of the community that definitely helped me find my path and as we reflect on these tough weeks in these tough times I just really want to encourage all of you students to know that we want to be your community and support you and take care of you we're here for your success and so when is tough if you're feeling alone if you're if you're feeling stressed please reach out to us and let us know how we can help how to support you and on the flip side we want you to be a community for one another and so again if someone's having a tough time you know I'll be that person for them and I think if we do that it's going to help us get through and come out the other end stronger and I do really feel like for these these tough times in these stressful directions there's not a school I would rather be a part of than than this one because of the community that we have so Panthers I miss you very much and I love you very much I'm sorry we're not here together today to do I don't know some hugs or have some laughs or some tears but we do miss you but we're also here for you however you need us to be so please don't hesitate to reach out and please have a restful weekend Monday will be back at it and I look forward to that take care
