SAY NO TO BANNING BEAU - 2024


We, the undersigned, are writing to express our deep concern and sorrow over the decision to remove Beau Harring from all football games, homecoming, clubs, fall sports, and extracurricular activities for the remainder of his senior year. This decision not only impacts Beau but also affects our entire school community, and we believe it is unjust and disproportionate to whatever circumstances led to it.
Beau Harring is not just another student; he is a beloved member of our school, a dedicated athlete, a leader, and a friend. Throughout his high school years, Beau has demonstrated exceptional commitment to his team, his school, and his community. His presence on the baseball field and in various clubs has brought a unique energy and passion that has inspired many of us. He has spent countless hours practicing, competing, and representing our school with pride.
For Beau, baseball and extracurricular activities are not just hobbies; they are a lifeline. They provide him with purpose, discipline, and a sense of belonging. To take these away from him during what is supposed to be the most memorable and formative year of his life is devastating. This punishment feels like a disproportionate response that overlooks Beau's positive contributions and the impact it will have on his future.
We understand the importance of rules and consequences, but we also believe in the power of second chances, especially for a young person who has consistently shown dedication and heart. Removing Beau from these activities takes away his opportunity to grow, learn, and make amends. It isolates him from the very support systems that could help him through this challenging time.
We urge you to reconsider this decision, taking into account Beau's character, his contributions to our school, and the long-term effects this punishment will have on his life. Senior year is a time for creating lasting memories and preparing for the future, and Beau deserves to experience it fully, alongside his peers.
Please, let compassion and understanding guide your decision. Reinstate Beau Harring in baseball, clubs, and extracurricular activities so that he can continue to be the vibrant, positive force he has always been.
Thank you.
