Hill City Prevailer

Well, I used to love her. It was a very brief affair. I’d call it the summer of love, really. She talked about personal freedoms. Not being sheep. She touted how we were all able to make our own choices. Yes, I saw the signs. But love is so blind, I chose to ignore them. But now she’s shown her true colors. And I don’t like them. As much as I used to think you were a strong, free thinking, personal rights minded, honest politician, I now know you are just another run of the mill politicians. I’m ending my love affair with our governor, Kristi Noem.

The time has changed, elections are over and the holidays are approaching.

As I write this, it is still unclear who our next Commander in Chief will be.

If you haven’t flown during the pandemic then I can assure you: you are not missing much! I got to fly the “friendly” skies of Divided last week.

It’s amazing how the airline could take an already stressful and un-fun activity and suck the life out it so badly as to make it 10,000,000 times worse. First because I had the cheapest tier of flight possible I was not allowed to check in online, lest I try to sneak an oversized bag on without paying.

This week is the final week of the first quarter, and I have been extremely proud of our students, staff and stakeholders. There has been a lot of noise surrounding public education this year, but the people in our school have stayed focused. It has been a blessing to serve as your superintendent as we implement a common-sense plan for educating our kids during a global pandemic. It has not always been easy, but I think it has created solidarity and unity amongst us. I am grateful for each day we are in school with our students and I hope you feel that way also.
