I was fortunate enough to see a message sent to one of our third grade teachers, Chuck Chisam, and I couldn't help but share some of it with you. I know for many of us parents, the realization of other influences on our children can be frightening... especially when considering their time at school. We all know they spend more hours awake in their school environment than they do even with their own family. Where they are can make a HUGE difference! When you read what's below, take a moment to thank God for yet another blessing today; the blessing of making it possible to be a part of such a special, special place.
Mr Chisam,
When I visited your room and saw you sitting there in your rocking chair reading your very quiet class a story before lunchtime, I thought of the lucky children that were going to sit at the feet of a very kind, gentle man this year . . . what a role model you are for so many. This is what makes this school what it is! And when I read your weekly emails on the Fruit of the Spirit, where else can emails be sent out on distribution lists with that kind of rich content? Thank you, Chuck, for all you do for all the children with whom you come in contact.
