    Congratulations Jennifer, Lori, Chris and Sharrock - keep the momentum going that has been started and keep focused on the real reason you should be there. Don't let outside forces influence your actions. Model for the students of the Joplin R8 the character traits that teach them respect, compassion, and honesty. Good luck and job well done!
