"It is not enough to understand, or to see clearly. The future will be shaped in the arena of human activity, by those willing to commit their minds and their bodies to the task. "
---Robert Kennedy
Today I volunteered at the local elementary school and once again was so impressed with my daughter's teacher and with the school itself. Having seen the movie Precious last night, I appreciate all the more being in a school with such wonderful and supportive teachers and staff, and with families and students who are so devoted to education and learning. There seem to be no shortage of volunteers at this school, and I know that strengthens the school and helps build a community of caring and involved parents. A few might say overinvolved, but to me it's so worthy of people to give their time to helping the kids succeed. It truly does take a village to raise a child, as the saying goes (did Hilary make that up or did she just make it famous - I think the latter), and exhibit A of that concept is right here at Bannockburn Elementary!
