All goes well here at school. This year's bunch are a lot of fun and have made for a really great start to the year. We have a few of the 5% wacko parents, but according to Michael Thompson that's to be expected.
The school started an anti-bullying campaign with a big kick off the first teacher day. The admin. showed an ABC Special hosted by John Stossel. Lo and behold, one of the experts they turned to for the 20 second sound bites was none other than Dr. Michael Thompson.
I had to chuckle. The faculty and administrators had no idea what it's like to spend and entire day with him in the cabin, sharing stories and solutions, not to mention having an ice cream sandwich with him. How fortunate we are to be under David's guiding hand, leading us to some of the best minds in the business.
I copied some of the handouts Michael gave us and handed them to the principal, thankng him for sending me to Westtown and letting him know where his $2,500 went. I even suggested that maybe the district contact Michael for some sound advice.
David's letter about jumping into the rushing water with the kids is a perfect metaphor for us at the 44th. Let's all get together in January and catch up. I know I can arrange for a guided tour of Longwood Gardens, a former DuPont estate, and one of the premier horticultural sights in the country. Plus...it will be warm inside the conservatories! Only a few minutes drive from Kildares and Iron Hill for a hot toddy afterwards.
Your fellow 44th and local tour guide,
Kent
