A Random Note From A Parent

A Random Note From A Parent

23 years after her daughter Graduated From my high school where I was the principal

November 2023

 Hi Bridget. I just wanted to say hello and thank you for your positive influence on my daughter who graduated from SHS in 2000. (C )

I didn't want you to think that I'm a crazy stalker lady 😜 when I respond to your posts.

I'm just always grateful when there are strong, intelligent women in our schools for our daughters to learn from 💜
