Today was a sad day for Indian Springs. I had my first student funeral.

I have been an educator for going on 28 years and have never had to bury a student. So Sad!!!

I was really proud of my teachers who supported the family and attended the funeral. I also had a 3rd grade boy attend the funeral because he said the boy was his friend. He had tears of sadness rolling down his cheeks.

After attending this funeral today I am reminded of how fast life goes by. How we as adults need to help slow down our families activities and stop and smell the roses of life. After you read this take about 5 minutes and think how fast your life is. How many activities you have going on with your family? Are they all worth it? Are you giving up quality family time to be involved in community activities? Just a question.

Let me know your thoughts.


Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers.


Mr. Smith
