Hey Everyone,
The Academy club is going through a bit of a tough time at the moment, so I thought I'd post something here.

Dear Koalas,
I know we don't have an advisor, despite my looking for one. I know that my father's after school schedule is erratic and so we never consistently have a room. I know that we've lost some members. I know that we're always finger-pointing and scolding.
But hey. That's not going to stop us, no way. If anything, that's just a little turbulence in our seafaring (seal-faring?) voyage. So, cheer up, everyone. Mr. Swagenseller has always said that WE are the club, and I wholeheartedly agree with him on that. If anything, our only true impediment is our self-maintained defeatist attitude.
Every one of us wants the same thing: for the club to be fun.
I may have founded this club alongside a handful of you, but frankly, it doesn't really matter all that much whether you're a longtime seal or a new recruit. Every one of us has helped make this club what it is, ups and downs. I know that we're all worried about what lies ahead of the club, but enough blaming. Less work, more play. Less speaking, more listening. Less worrying, more improv. We're trying to hard to live up to what the club was last year, in middle school, but we may not have to.
Do not stress about living up to an old legacy. Let us create a new one.
I love you all,
Michael
P.S. Teava, get back in the club. I/we miss you.
