Also, for any of you that actually read this blog I must take a moment to share my impressions of this weeks "Every Fifteen Minutes" program. I feel that this program has truly opened the eyes of many of our students and hopefully will work to prevent senseless tragedies from occurring in our communities. I want to greatly thank all those that were involved in this event for their time and efforts. It was a very emotional and educational experience for all.
