Can’t believe you’re entering your Freshman year at Oyster River High School.

Your grandmother and I are trying to process the reality that Grandchild #3, born 15  years ago, is in his 9th year of school, not counting kindergarten.  How did this happen so fast? Crazy!

Grammy and I sure wish your first year at ORHS was a normal one, without the constraints of Covid-19, meaning remote learning and ZERO in-person attendance at school. That sucks!

We’re sad you and your classmates (and everyone else in America not able to attend school who normally would) won’t experience the normal routines, customs and procedures we’ve taken for granted all these years.

We’re hoping a vaccine is developed soon and you’ll be able to get some degree of in-person high school experience ( a few months perhaps?) before the year ends.

Hang in there, Camden.  We’re proud of how you’re reacting to all this change and know you’ll be okay.  Stay focused, get good grades and make the best of this funky situation. You’ve got the right attitude and it will continue to serve you well. Proud of you.

Happy 15th birthday Camden Paul Beaupre!

Proud of who you are and what you’ve already achieved in your young life.

So lucky having your curiosity, sharp mind, engaging smile and sense of humor front & center in our lives. Thanks for (patiently) teaching me about iPhone tricks I had no clue about, haha.

Whether we’re kayaking, playing board games, going to rock concerts, zip-lining, watching you score hockey goals, boogie boarding or just hanging out, you always make our day brighter.

Love you to Pluto and back!
