Tonight is Tall Girl’s last night at home before heading back to Benedictine for sophomore year.
She’s moving into the dorm early for Athletes Week with Raven Dance—and she’s especially excited about the new group of freshman dancers arriving this year.
For her, it’s the beginning of another year: new dancers, new friends, new adventures, and a campus that already feels like home.
For Dad?
He’s still on “last night at home.”
That may be one of the strange things about watching your children grow up. They’re already looking through the open door at what comes next while you’re standing there for just another moment, remembering all the doors they’ve already walked through.
Always a Rook. ♜ Always Home.
