As sometimes happens, Harry Bull, a teaching colleague/golf partner/friend, made the trek to Chicago yesterday to deliver coats to the Chalmers children. Harry had some observations that give you a sense of the dedication of the Chalmers people.
On the ride home, after delivering the coats, Harry was effusive in his praise for the personnel in Chalmers. Said Harry, "these people really care about the kids. It is obvious that they are proud of them and take great pride in the progress being made by the students." He went on to say, "to a person, they are truly thankful for the coats."
It doesn't matter the school or neighborhood, the reaction is the same at every school; the staff and children are working hard, the administration demonstrates a real concern for the children and they are proud of any and all accomplishments.
All of these positive comments have a common theme. The teachers and administrators realize that the possibilities exist for the students to better themselves and that with some assistance brighter days are ahead.
As long as the teachers, parents and students are willing to give it their all, then it makes sense for us to stand with them and we will.
Thanks for your help,
Dick
