Thanks for ten wonderful years of being in the classroom and 22 years of great memories on the court, Judge. Some of the things I will always remember from basketball are the sophomore teams I got to coach that finished 18-1 and 19-1, going 20-6 against Juan Diego, going 3-0 against Sky View in Freshman Tournament Championship games, getting to the championship of the tournament seven times in 12 years (including a stretch of six times in eight years), and three Championships, especially the 18-2 team's win in 2015.
As far as the classroom goes, I'll always remember the amazing Freshman Capstone Projects kids did, the inspiring This I Believe essays and presentations, and the great insights in the Hero Catch-Phrase Project. I am very proud of the number of state winners we had for the Letters About Literature and Martin Luther King, Jr. essay contests. And most of all, I'll remember the awesome students that make Judge Memorial special.
I also got to work with many amazing coaches and teachers through the years, especially Coach Yerkovich, Dan Del Porto, Patrick Nolan, Chris Sloan, Linda Simpson, and Chris McGill. Thanks for everything.

Thanks for everything you've done for me Mr. Baird. You've made me a better writer and a better reader. To this day when I am confused with a book I pull out my copy of "How to Read Literature Like a Professor." You will be greatly missed.
