One of the most exciting Basketball games i’ve ever been in the bleachers for.
The lead went back and forth repeatedly.
And at one point near the end, it looked like the other team would run away with the win.
For the 15-year old freshman, he witnessed an unprecedented display of school spirit and was there in person to be part of a first ever Boys High School State Championship win.
It was the fifth game we’ve attended, and there were more fans at last night’s final than the other four games combined.
It was moving.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

A photo story board into last night’s Middle School graduation. Important to note that these young men have had an extraordinarily intimate classroom experience, only 11 full-time students, with two high schoolers and former Owl room graduates as consistent occupants.
David’s Father passed away suddenly and High School became a challenge. Ms. Yelenosky opened the Owl room to him the whole year. David’s Mom works at the school and his two younger siblings also attend.
Daniel is going to be a Junior at Lake Highland Prep. Ms. Y hires him to spend the last three hours of the day as a classroom handy-man. His positive influence as a real-world high schooler helps the middle schoolers get a glimpse into their future. Priceless.
The school, the teachers, the Montessori karma, the parental leadership…the perfect storm to develop young men into something remarkable.
