Well, it happened again, this time at Great Mills High School in Saint Mary’s, Maryland. I wish just the opposite was happening!
So only a month after the Parkland, Florida shootings where 17 innocent people lost their lives, yesterday it happened in my home state of Maryland. Two people were injured and the gunman was killed in an attack at Great Mills High School in St. Mary’s County.

It’s attacks like these that I’m trying to counteract by establishing lovedatschool.com.
Consequently, today I placed my first order of Georgetown Cupcakes for a
school out West named after my grandfather. Rather than dwell on the bad things that just happened, I’d just as soon do something nice for a school instead. See a photo of those awesome cupcakes here before they are shipped!
We’ve also started our first fundraising effort to provide some tables and chairs for students to use at recess at a particular school. Not every kid likes to play kickball or run around during their break. Some like to read, sit down and draw, play Pokemon cards with their friends, or just relax.
The school we’re working with doesn’t have any outdoor equipment like that. It’s a fun effort to reach out to my family members in an effort to raise a few dollars for the school. See our progress here on this site as we go along.
