Carroll County Middle School has arrived, and we expect to see Galax pull in shortly

It would appear that 15 young Lady Cavaliers grabbed their gear and headed in.

Mid – 80’s and not a cloud in the sky so it should prove to be a great day to play

It’s was tough to break the news at the morning staff meeting about this year’s OneofUs.Care banquet, but while they didn’t have much to say, they’re still here ! #Dedicated

For the past four years, we have set aside both the time and the financial resources to host a banquet. We gathered 100+ folks to dinner 🍽 and celebrated the achievements of a number of people who made a significant contribution to our beliefs.

Years three and four, we added a gold watch ⌚️ ceremony in which we purchased the tackiest gold watch available online and presented 🎁 it to someone who was retiring. Athletic Director Darrin Mathews the first time, and Dr. Burnette last year.

While there is no extra $5,000.00 lying around to hold a fifth one, we still have enough of a thought process that we still have five people that need to be applauded.

Gold Watch – Allen Worrell and David Broyles. I’m not sure if the dynamic duo will have to have joint custody of one gaudy watch or if he can rustle up a pair of them. We need to pay homage for the years and years that Allen and his Plucky Sidekick served the residents of Carroll County ! Both young men played a role in our efforts here, and we shared a laugh or two along the way.

Person of the Year( Jon Culp Award) – Principal Chuck Thompson gets the nod here ! Maybe we can invite Mr Thompson out to The Crooked Oak early one morning for breakfast with Coach Rick Nester and I. The daily burden that this man operates under is cause enough to celebrate his career achievements.

We have a pair of folks who will fall under the lifetime achievement awards.

In the definition of lifetime, in this case, it involves the past five years in specific. The Jay Neal Lifetime Achievement Award.

Both Ron Cochran at Omega Office 🏬 and Supply & my wife, Linda Carter.

Maybe a slice of pizza 🍕 from Pizza Perfect will make the presentation easy enough, being Ron will only have to walk next door 🚪.

David Broyles , Allen Worrell, Linda Carter, Ron Cochran, and Principal Chuck Thompson are the honorees for the fifth and final banquet.

The next step is to order the crystal 🔮 and the watch(s).

Five people who made a difference !!!!!

Safely back amongst the cows 🐄 in Laurel Fork, after another weekend in Weat Virginia,  tired but asking the Jed Bartlett question of ” What’s next ? ” The answer is Vickey Ritchie and something she calls 📞 Half-O – Ween….

To say that Vickey Ritchie likes Halloween 🎃 would be equal to saying that people like to eat cake 🎂. It should be to no ones surprise that tomorrow, our Special Olympics Basketball practice will have a Halloween theme.

It turns out that we are currently exactly halfway through the year in regards to the holiday of the Great Pumpkin 🎃. I’m not sure where the mind of our fearless leader will take us next, but I’m sure that it will be fun for everyone who walks through the gym door 🚪 tomorrow !
