Welcome back Ravens,
tomorrow is the day you've all been waiting for. The day to kick off the 2012-2013 school year. You have new clothes, make new friends, and meet new teachers. But one thing that isn't new is me. I know I left on a sour note but I'm back Ravens, and I'm here to stay. We have a lot of catching up to do, but before I get to that let's start with welcoming the freshmen. I foresee a whole new chapter of ONW drama to spill. We already said good bye to our graduates, and now we're welcoming a new reigning class of seniors. With the history the class of 2013 has I wouldn't worry, they'll create plenty more gossip to spread this year. But first I'll be talking about some of the summer activities you all took part in because those are never school appropriate. So bear with me, I have a lot to say.
Just a couple minutes on Facebook is all it takes to get a pretty good idea of all the partying that went on this summer. So I'm sure you're all too aware of the crazy things that all that alcohol and drug use can lead to but if you're not you'll be interested in the events of this midsummer party that got pretty exciting pretty quickly. Machiavelli said "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer" but I wouldn't necessarily recommend that if they have a violent streak. The gun scare we had in April is nothing compared to the the party that went out with a real "bang" in June. No one was hurt but everyone was shaken up. This event clearly outshines the many drunken hookups and wasted fist fights but these still happened and they're still juicy gossip, I promise that you haven't heard the last of them.
Last year there were a few mentionable age differences in the dating students of ONW, namely the freshmen/senior relationships that have no doubt ended by now, but this summer one of them tops the charts. Every once in a while you hear about teachers meddling in student affairs and today that's exactly what you'll be hearing about. Over the summer he's not your teacher so why not, right? Wrong. One of your very own Raven ladies got a little too excited over one of our Papa Ravens. I can't go into too much detail but I think you all understand. I just hope she knows that eventually the seasons change and sneaking around is going to get a lot harder. Especially when you're not his only student in the classroom. Well, a new season begins today: School season. I hope the Honor Roll is worth it.
Finally, I would like to say a word of respect for an Olathe School District student who lost his life this summer. A Hawk from Olathe East, he was a part of our community and will be missed. I hope you Ravens can find it in your hearts to have a moment of silence in his honor. I know you're not all bad.
As you can probably tell, I was not bored at all this summer. And neither were any of you. Of course plenty happened that I could ramble on about but I'm not going to bore you with the same issues over and over. Cheating, lying, fighting; you know it all happened. Even so, I'll be very prepared to spread the news when you all dive head first into the depths of the ocean of drama that is Olathe Northwest high school. Ravens, it's been a long summer and an even longer school year is sitting in front of you. Take it how you will, but always remember that I'm watching you. Until next time Ravens.
Yours truly, O.A.
