Dear Friends,
As you have probably heard by now, yesterday was my last day at the Avalon School. Unfortunate, but I believe providential, circumstances have led me to accept a position on the staff of United States Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina.
I am happy to have been able to say goodbye to so many of you in person over the last few days though I am sorry the news has come so suddenly (the one and only drawback to this week's blissful snowdays).
Anyway, as I've been saying, I will stay present in the Avalon community, and the administration has agreed to let me keep my email address mconnolly@avalonschools.org. I will still be available to all of you, especially you students. Any problem, any essay glitch, any question about Black Knight Style, just drop me a line, and I will help however I can.
Thank you for two and a half wonderful years. Teaching you Hoopers has been the most fun and most rewarding work I'll ever do. Please stay in touch; I will see you all soon. I promise.
Go Avalon. Beat The Heights.
Mr. C.
