Today I am reminded about how much I value being a member of a warm and inviting community. I met members of the Varsity Football team today, including Ryan, Ben, and Spencer and members of the Varsity Cheerleading Squad. Nearer to the end of the year, I met members of Choralation, our new principal Mr. Van Fleet, the front office staff, Mrs. Edwards and Mrs. Mason, along with custodians Gus, Josh, Natividad and Bill. Everyone at Tigard is so friendly and warm. What a great place!

I cannot wait to meet all of the new and continuing members of the 2015-2016 Tigard High School Choirs. We are going to have a wonderful time getting to know each other, building community, learning and growing together and making incredible music!

Take advantage of some of the great musical opportunities out there this summer. Go see Thoroughly Modern Millie at our Deb Fennel Auditorium over the next two weeks! It is AMAZING! Go see Wicked at the Keller if you can summon up the money to do it. Wendy and I, along with other friends and family are going to see Millie again on the 24th of July. Perhaps we will see you there! And enjoy your summer!
