Intro to 2D and Ceramics 1 & 2 ended with their best pieces of art this trimester. Going to miss these students with their diverse interests. @GCHS_AT@GCAlumni@GCHSFineArts
"That’s the part I missed for the longest time. I was looking for God in the moments I’d carved out for Him, and missing Him in the moments He’d carved out for me."
"Lord, I’m done. Help me keep going."

My review of @malcolmguite's Galahad and the Grail. I hope it will give you enough of a taste of this incredible book that your next move will be to buy it and enjoy it yourself. https://t.co/BKhCcttEFg @TheRabbitRoom
Ceramics 1 & 2 did a great job this last week with their tile making, wheel work, slip casts, and coil vases. So impressed with their creativity and work ethic. @GCHSTheMax@GCHSFineArts@GCAlumni
STORY: UD senior Izzy Kemp finished her career as one of the best to ever wear a Flyers uniform.
Now, she's taking her impact off the field and into a career inspired by her father, who has been in a wheelchair since he was 5.

Josh Smith is one of the most talented bladesmiths in the world. He started the @Montanaknifeco six years ago, in his garage in Missoula. Last month, he moved his operation into a 51,000 square foot manufacturing facility. https://t.co/65mDOaRiSZ Josh invited me to the grand opening of his new facility, but the schedules didn’t work out. But when I saw the video online and observed hundreds of people standing in line for hours to take a tour of his new facility, I was intrigued. So, I invited Josh back onto the podcast talk about the remarkable growth of MKC, and the tricky business of making things in America.
It should go without saying, but I’ll say it anyway. It’s really, really, really hard to run a successful business that makes a quality product in this country. Some states make it harder than others, but no place makes it easy. Regulations, taxes, HR challenges, labor lawyers, and yes – tariffs – all pose enormous obstacles for entrepreneurs like Josh, and I thought it might be helpful to learn what it takes to turn a one-man knife making operation in a garage into a manufacturing triumph. I also wanted to do my part to acknowledge this extraordinary accomplishment and celebrate the way one man’s vision can transform a modest knife-making operation into a multi-million-dollar business that employs over a hundred people and does great things for the local economy. Anyone espousing the benefits of reinvigorating the skilled trades and bringing manufacturing to America should be using MKC as an example of how to do it right. Share if you concur.
Our whole conversation is here. https://t.co/LA9EMMcghC
PS I’m also grateful that Josh has chosen mikeroweWORKS as a cause for MKC to support. Thanks to sales of The Rocker - the perfect utility blade for the workingman - Josh has raised nearly $200,000 for our work ethic scholarship program. And now, he’s made some additional blades to benefit my foundation. I’ll have more details on that in a few weeks. As always, you guys will get the first look at whatever Josh has created. They always sell out in hours…
Common story:
Kid loves baseball. Decides to quit other sports & specialize in 8th grade.
Plays spring ball, summer travel ball, & fall ball. Private lessons over the winter. Ends up swinging/throwing 12 months straight.
Does this for 4 years.
48 months straight of the same back/arm stress.
And we wonder why so many HS players have Pars stress fractures and torn UCLs.
Now apply this to volleyball, golf, basketball, etc. We are breaking our kids’ bodies in pursuit of scholarships.
Athletes need an offseason. Especially when they’re 15.
Ceramics and Intro to 2D made some impressive creations this week. From clay shells to chess sets to acrylic flowers. Take a look. @GCHSFineArts@GCHS_AT@GCAlumni@GCHSTheMax
