MORE INFO: 
The Boger’s have graciously opened up Willow Oak Farms for everyone to gather tomorrow after the burial for Isaac. We ask that everyone join us as we reminisce on the good times. Food is welcomed to be dropped off with Anna Davis Boger there at the barn. Pass the word along, Isaac loved crowds and would love to be the center of attention. 

FROM MR. TRIBBLE
I plan on allowing students to check out at 12 tomorrow to attend Issacs funeral. Students must bring a parent note and turn it in before school. I will not accept emails or parent phone calls to check out students.

It’s hard to put into words what I witnessed today and tonight. I saw pain in our teachers and students hearts. I also saw teachers and students comforting one another. I have been overwhelmed with the support our school has received. Thank you to our central office staff, our counselors from around the county, Chick-fil-A of Athens for giving our kids 200 biscuits this morning, and others who sent me encouraging messages. I hope no principal has to go through this because it is absolutely the worst thing I have experienced in education. However it’s also been one of the best because I have seen kids pray together, love on each other and lift each other up today like I’ve never seen before. Issac was very special for a number of reason and he will be missed by many. I hope people will remember his love for life. He lived big and sometimes he and I butted heads over it but he could always win me back with his smile. Please continue to lift up our school in your prayers in the days to come.
