Wednesday as I was all packed and ready to go to begin my 2nd quarter of 2015 classes at Dixon, I found it was on lockdown. UGH, there was a lockdown January 28th the day I set out to begin the 1st quarter of 2015 classes.
No lockdown at Sheridan!! Where as always, it was a joy to see many returning students and meeting new students.
Thank you for your prayer support at the start of this new season of classes.
To Him be the glory.
Scott
