By VERNA BROCKEd and I had the distinct pleasure of attending the Riversprings Middle School End of Year Band Concert last week, and it was really amazing. Matthes Spindler, the director of bands, is an absolute genius at teaching these middle school students. The Jazz Band was a revelation, and so much fun to watch; the Symphonic band literally moved me to tears with “Rippling Watercolors.” The Concert Band’s performance of “Down To the River” was sublime. I hope you will make plans to enjoy a band concert next year!
At the same time, the walls of the RMS multi-purpose room were covered in a year’s worth of art works by members of all three grades. Wakulla County certainly has a wealth of talent in the arts.
Kudos to the Wakulla High School softball team, on moving forward to regional competition! This time of year is always busy, with graduations, competitions, performances and school trips.
Speaking of graduations, I want to congratulate Alex Hernandez and his family on his successful graduation from both TCC and WHS this month. We are all so proud for him, and can’t wait to see what he accomplishes next.
Let me also congratulate Dianne and Kelly O’Neil on the wedding anniversary. May you celebrate many, many more! Happy birthday wishes this week to Gloria Dock and Crystal Rudd also.
As I write this, plans for attending the Community Traffic Safety Committee are moving forward for May 9th. I will give you a full report next week as to how our concerns were received. I absolutely thank Sheriff Miller for the steps he has taken to remind folks to SLOW DOWN in our little neighborhood.
Please continue to keep little Sebastian Moseley and his family close in prayers. He had a rough week, and needs to gain strength to receive a heart transfer. Our prayers are both deeply appreciated and coveted.
Please continue to lift the Kendrick family in prayer, as well as the Carter families, the family of Howard Hobby, my friend Esther Gavin as she recovers from a broken arm, the Hobbs family, the Vickery family, and the Peacock-Sloan family.
I also want to thank my friends and family for their prayers during the past few months. We celebrated my father’s life on the 28th, at the Tallahassee National Cemetery. It is such a beautiful place, and the volunteers there do a great job with the military honors for our loved ones.
