Today at Clear Spring School I have two important things to attend. The first is a meeting with PB2, an architectural firm that will be designing a new wood shop and other buildings to bring the Clear Spring High School onto the original campus. All of this will involve some major changes in the next year. There will be a capital campaign, the building in which the current shop is located will be sold, and all things will seem up in the air for a time.

The second thing for today is the annual Eureka Springs Rotary Club Teacher Appreciation Luncheon. All the teachers and staff from the public and private schools of Eureka Springs will be honored. I have no idea whether other communities do such things for their teachers. They should. It means a lot to look across such a large room and to see so many who have given a significant part of their lives to teaching our children.
