~A sweet gift~
On Monday, I met Mrs. Bert Campbell.
She had diligently prepared all the paperwork for our girl's transfer packet.
Her kindness, gentleness, genuine care for students was immediately evident.
She displayed great compassion and encouragement for our upcoming transition.
As we kept talking, we discovered our mutual friendship with a dear family.
Tonight, she showed her support for all the dancers
 and came bearing a very thoughtful gift for these two!! 
Thank you, Mrs. Campbell, for making a difference at SPHS!!!
