Day B675

Good Morning Mercy!

In Memory of September 11^th:

I believe that when you lose a loved one you gain an angel whose name you know.
Over 6,000 and counting, angels added to the spiritual roster  on September 11^th. It is our prayer that they will keep us in their sight with a direct line to our hearts.
May we all leave this place and not let one single life have passed in vain.
May we leave this place determined to now use every moment that we yet live to turn up the volume in our own lives, to create deeper meaning, to know what really matters.
What really matters is who you love and how you love.

Freshmen: Counselors are meeting with all freshmen. Please look out for slips in your advisory that will tell you where and when to go meet with your counselor.
