Griffin Nation!! Good Morning everyone and what a day it is today, MLK day! One of my favorite quotes is "Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that". As we take today and reflect on the life of Dr. King, let us remember this, LOVE always wins. As we enter this week, there is weather to watch for as well as a long list off athletics and a step closer to the mid point of the 9 weeks. Let's continue to keep the main thing. We learn, We lead, We serve!
