Caring students in Jackson

To the administration, coaches, faculty and students of Jackson High School:Last month we lost a family member and he has a son in your senior class as well as on the varsity soccer team. Over the years, we have observed many young people of high school age, but never have we seen young people exemplify what your Jackson High students did. They showed courtesy, dedication, sincerity and love to our grandson -- not just a few -- the whole team and many, many other students. These students came to pay their respects both at his home and to the visitation and service. They were true friends who really cared, and we sing their praises. (Parents, you have done a fantastic job, and we sing your praises, as well). Each student and faculty member came with respect and love in their heart. Our family thanks you and wishes your students a blessed year.

Take a bow, Jackson High, and thank you for your fine students and faculty.
