Yes, too many children are going without the proper food, education, housing, and clothing. The number seems to grow by leaps and bounds, whether because of natural disasters, poverty or sheer neglect.
As 2011 has rolled into 2012, I am reminded that our mission is to serve students and to help them along the way. The mission remains, as always, to be devoted to the world's children by providing the resources that have the power to lift the spirit and unlock the vast potential of the human mind.
The reasons behind young people not having the resources to be successful in school are of concern but, they cannot stop us from doing what is right and just. Despite all the controversy that seems to whirl around schools and school reform and the various constituents who take specific stand on certain issues, one thing remains clear...the need our support.
So, as we embark on another year of 'unlocking the vast potential of the human mind,' we do so mindful of the good that is done each time a pencil is put in the hands of a child, each day they have paper and folders on their desk and each time we can keep a student warm by providing a winter coat.
2012 will be another year of making sure we do our part to bring something positive to lives of those who yearn for a better day.
I'm looking forward to working with one and all in the year ahead!
Many thanks,
Dick
