Can’t believe you’re entering your Freshman year at Dover High School!

Your grandmother and I are trying to process the reality that Grandchild #2, born 15  years ago, is in her 9th year of school, not counting kindergarten.  How did this happen so fast? Crazy!

Grammy and I sure wish your first year at DHS was a normal one, without the constraints of Covid-19, meaning remote learning and ZERO in-person attendance at school. That sucks!

We’re sad you and your classmates (and everyone else in America not able to attend school who normally would) won’t experience the normal routines, customs and procedures we’ve taken for granted all these years.

We’re hoping a vaccine is developed soon and you’ll be able to get some degree of in-person high school experience ( a few months perhaps?) before the year ends.

Hang in there, Emma.  We’re proud of how you’re taking all this change and know you’ll be okay.  Stay focused, get good grades and make the best of this funky situation. You’ve got the right attitude and it will continue to serve you well. Proud of you.

With a compressed sports schedule this Fall, we enjoyed every second of each outdoor game for Molly Clickman (soccer) and Madigan Beaupre (field hockey & soccer).

Great season girls!

Congrats to Emma who made the Dover High School JV soccer team. Way to go Em.  Unfortunately there were only practices and no games (Covid-19 decisions).

Now we shift gears to indoor hockey games for Camden & Madigan via the streaming service LiveBarn. 

Happy 15th birthday Emma!

A beautiful day for a beautiful soul.

Grammy and I are proud of who you are, a young lady filled with compassion, kindness and an epic sense of humor.

You’re one of those (rare) people who takes action vs. just talking. Whether you’re playing soccer, raising money for cancer and social causes; playing your guitar, boogie boarding; zip-lining or helping your Mom & Dad, it’s a joy being around you.

Always be yourself; and always believe in yourself… that’s all you’ll ever need.
