The Scribe's Institute

A huge shout-out to Desi Nesmith, Director of CREC (Capital Regional Education Council), and heartfelt congratulations to CREC on 60 years of education innovation! 🎉 The CREC Annual Meeting was an incredible celebration—with all the trappings of educational excellence, vision, and community impact.

It’s inspiring to witness the legacy of CREC and the dedication to empowering students, educators, and families across our region. Here’s to the next 60 years of shaping minds, breaking barriers, and transforming lives. The future is brighter because of the work you do!

So often, we hear the words, "We thank you for your service," spoken to our military men and women. Yet, few truly grasp the depth and gravity of what that service means. 🇺🇸 Our military doesn't just stand guard or fight battles—they carry the weight of our freedom on their shoulders, making sacrifices that go far beyond what most of us will ever know.

Many have given their lives, laying down their tomorrows so we might live ours in peace and liberty. That is the ultimate sacrifice—the kind of selflessness that echoes through generations.

Let us not merely remember, but truly honor and cherish the legacy of those who have served and those who have fallen. May we never forget the price paid for our freedoms. 🕊️ --Aaron Lewis
