Things just wrapped up at Tommy Thompson Field and there are so many feel good stories to share!

It was a difficult call on which photo 📷 should be the lead and I settled on these two impressive Student Athletes 👏.

Very excited about the Sports section of The Carroll News tomorrow as its set to contain our full length feature story on Adrienne Harris. I was able to tell the ever so hard working young man 👨 standing next to her that he’s welcomed to be next.

Two of our County’s finest posed for a picture 📷 – Mr Ryan Largen and Mrs. Tammy Quesenberry…

.

Fun fact with this photo 📷, Mr. Kevin DeHaven is now the immediate Supervisor for both of the other ttwo fine gentlemen. It was great to interact with the Three Musketeers for a few minutes!

The hardworking cadets in our JROTC had their pull-up bars out and they had plenty of participants.

Two young ladies that seem inseparable !

Great weather, Great turnout and so many options !

Mr. Trenton Miller took time from his spot to pose for a photo 📷

The next photo 📷 was the final one taken and I’m sure it was the first time some of these folks had the opportunity to catch their breath.

For the second time inside of 72 hours the folks in and around Carroll County gathered together ❤ and had some well deserved fun !

Each fall Coach Montgomery leads our Boys and Girls Cross Country teams into action 🎬. Yesterday we took a look at the upcoming Volleyball season and today we hope to check in with Coach Montgomery to see how his initial Tryouts are progressing.

Montgomery is one of the easiest people for us to work with because he understands the fact that we want to reckonize each and every Student Athlete that takes the time to wear our Colors !

Hopefully we will have something 🙏 to add to the bottom of this post later after we hear back from Coach…

There was a certain buzz about The Hill yesterday afternoon as the School 🏫 is reopening the doors 🚪 ahead of the new School year.

Practices were taking place in various spots and folks were getting prepared through the Open House taking place.

If yesterday was busy then today should be nothing short of down right exciting for everyone involved. The festivities are set to begin at 4:00pm and run through 7:00pm in and around the Football stadium.

The amount of planning that goes into an event like this one is amazing 👏 to say the least. Let’s not forget the number of people it will take to step in after the fact to restore everything back to its place.

Our teachers and our Administration are locked 🔒 in and ready to lead our youth for the next 10 months. Tonight is designed for everyone involved to have a little fun ahead of Thursday morning 🌄 when the doors open for business.

Yes, there will be some parking issues for folks but a plan has been put in place to try to make getting in and out as easy as possible. Please note 📝 the VFW Shuttle Bus 🚌 option that will be running every 15 minutes.

If you can make it down and cross paths with a Teacher, please offer up some words of encouragement 🙏. If you happen to see 👀 one of our Administration out and about, Please do the same.

In the World 🌎 of High School faculty there are zero Nike shoe contracts to be signed. Nobody you see tonight is getting an appearance fee or pulling in seven figures, unless you count the decimal point.

The Men and Women that lead our Children do so because they want to be a Role Model, not because they want to be Millionaires or be casted on Dancing with the Stars 🌟.

Come into the Town today and have yourself some FUN ! And if you see someone who you know helped create the moment, please 🙏 offer them some encouragement !

Per the norm, if anyone wants to share a photo 📷 or two after the fact, please do.

Have yourself a Blessed Day !
