Good morning, students. We have an important announcement to make this morning.<br />Mr. Jenkins, your physical education teacher, will be leaving us after 25 years at Evergreen<br />High School. Together we have shared many great memories here and he is a big part<br />of our school's history. He led the boys' basketball team to a championship the last<br />two years and has also helped out with other sports programs.<br />Though we are sad to see him go, we are happy for him too. He has been a fantastic coach,<br />a teacher and more importantly, a good friend. He has told us that this decision has been<br />very hard for him. However, his mother has become ill and it is the right decision for<br />his family. Unfortunately, Mr. Jenkins will not be able to end the year with us as he<br />is traveling back to his hometown this Friday. This means we won't have time for a proper<br />goodbye celebration but we hope you will all visit him before he leaves.<br />And finally, to show respect for our good friend, we will be naming the gymnasium, Jenkins<br />Gym, at the end of the month. Taking over his duties until summer vacation will be our<br />math teacher, Mr. Ryan. We also have a goodbye card you can sign at the office. Thank you<br />for your attention and have a good day.
