Our little family of 4 has received all 8 of our special COVID-19 vaccinations as of today. I am so grateful for the scientists, first responders, front line workers and everyone who has gotten us this far. I don’t take it lightly that some countries are still struggling with this disease … I am truly amazed and thankful.

I also thought it would be a fun time to share some silly writing that I did last year (April 17, 2020 to be exact). It’s a positive spin on our little locked-down-reality from about 14 months ago.

Enjoy!

Keegan Academy Proudly presents the following Major Awards:

High School Student of the Month – Senior MK

After 5 weeks of shelter in place and having his entire last semester of High School upended, he remains positive while navigating multiple AP and Honors classes.  MK is keeping up his rigorous workout schedule of a senior track athlete all while missing the camaraderie of his teammates and coaches. He is missing time with his friends, his driver’s license freedom and paycheck. We are so proud of you MK! Keep up the great work.

Middle School Student of the Month – 7th grader FK

After 5 weeks of shelter in place and having his first lacrosse season and second track season cancelled, he remains positive and provides daily trumpet concerts to his shelter-in-place roommates. He has a positive attitude, contagious laughter and completes his chores and homework before beginning his daily video game challenges (aka talking with friends). He is missing active time with his friends, whiffle ball tournaments at the playground, track meets and bike riding freedom through town. We are so proud of you FK! Keep up the great work.

Employee of the Month – 6 year old Lennon

He’s very relaxed, even in these stressful times. He’s willing to stay with you while you work, eat, walk, sleep, really all day long he’ll follow you around. He has brilliant motivational strategies and keeps everyone focused on their tasks at hand by preventing lounging on the couch during the workday.

Educator of the Month – 8^th Grade Teacher RK

After 5 weeks of shelter in place, he manages the disappointments of his own goals (coaching softball) and seeing his own kids run track, and play lacrosse while mitigating the sadness of his countless students dealing with the same issues. He embraces the budget cuts and supply issues. He welcomes students from other classrooms to ask questions and interrupt. He’s staying busy working on his goal of growing facial hair. All while grocery shopping for his family. We are so proud of you RK! Keep up the great work.
