Reflecting on Life and Death

We had better do everything that we love before it’s too late. Life is so short.

As one life passes, another is born. Both life and death cause us to experience a myriad of emotions on any given day…

It’s interesting to talk to our 12- and 8-year-olds about life and death. It is wild how much they understand…and how much they don’t…

I care about them so much and want to protect them from harm and protect them from experiencing any pain of loss. But it will happen someday…


When I sit back and think how awful it must be to lose a father and a mentor, I suddenly realize…that I already have…but I am OK.

I sit back and think of all the things that people are standing up for like schools, healthcare and freedom, and I just want to go home and hug my kids because that’s the journey I chose.

I’m passionate about my family and my work, but I would still like to be a nurse. I wish I got paid to do PTA work because that gets really time-consuming sometimes. But I love it. 

We had better do everything that we love before it’s too late. Life is so short, and we begin to realize that when we get older we'll all see people passing away often…

Mr, Kiely, When they cut school days, isn't the savings in that the employees who directly work withRead More and for the children are deprived of that many days of pay??? Do the principals also lose 5 days pay? Does Hutt lose 5 days pay? Do the board members lose 5 days worth of their stipend. In other words, is the bad tasting medicine swallowed by everyone in the school district in a sincere effort to cure the ills of this school district Or is it just the teachers and the classified workers who are called upon to attempt a restoral of good health, the direct result of poor management and less than admirable leadership that has brought about ths crisis??

Mr, Kiely, Somewhere I heard that they were considering stopping contracting out PE at a largeRead More savings. Was that discussed last week? I was not abe to stay the entire evening. I question why they would have contracted for PE at the elementary level. Isn't that what recess and the balance of lunch time was for? Physical activity??? Thank you in advance for your always knowledgeable answer to my questions.

District cutting school days? The District is showing an agreement with the union which will saveRead More $200K. It doesn't show where the money is coming from, but the amount makes it look like they are cutting 5 days from the calendar. Dr. Hutt said at the last meeting that the length of the school year was still under negotiation.
