School is closed due to the COVID-19 virus.  We all drive by those buildings, now vacant, and wonder when the children will return.  Red River High Principal JC Dickey was in town one day last week.  Here are his observations.

I drove to school today and made sure everything was still ok.  As I sat in the parking lot when the 3rd bell was supposed to ring and the kids were supposed to go to lunch, I was sadden by the silence.  I sat there and pictured kids heading to the cafeteria, the courtyard, and lining up for the concession stand.  I pictured their faces and could see most of them sitting and standing in the same spots they normally do.  

I could imagine what their conversation where like and could see them laughing, cutting up (climbing on my tables), talking about class, what was happening after school, or the next athletic competition.  I could see you talking about your dual enrollment course, the next trail ride, work, or who was having the next party.  

Man I miss my Red River High students so much.  Bulldogs I want you to know I am praying for you daily, and I can’t wait to see you all again soon.  Stay safe and when this is all over we will be stronger for it.  Love you all Bulldogs.  #BulldogsForever
