It's here! Just a few hours from now GHS will officially be celebrating Spring Break! I can't think of anyone not ready. I also can't think of anyone who doesn't deserve it!
I am so proud of our community, students, staff, and support staff for enduring such a difficult school year. The weather has such a huge impact on education. If you aren't directly involved in teaching or learning you probably don't understand. Continuity and routine are such important parts of an effective education. The snow days are always fun, but even the students were tired of the endless winter. Our great custodial and maintenance staff can finally get something done besides plowing snow. Now we get that break we need and when we get back, we will have a mad 9 week dash to the end of the year.
We are provided times like this to remind us of the joy only God can provide. Sure we can simulate pure joy as we enjoy vacation, or a needed break. But the real joy can only come by turning over life's chaos to the God that created us. The peace we need to fill our hearts, minds, and spirit is found through the daily walk with the Holy Spirit. We don't get to experience the ultimate joy until we spend it in eternity. Until then, we will take moments like Spring Break, stretch out, and live in the temporary joy of a quiet 9 days away from the world!
Have a great Spring Break GHS, we'll see you in 9 days!
