I frequently come face to face with parents out in public at different events and often conversations will take place about how someone at the school went out of their way to help a child. With a great sense of pride, I stand back and listen soaking in the dialogue, knowing this happens because our teachers and staff members really love and care for our kids. Just like A. B. Combs, this is the foundation that puts us on solid ground. It is made up of teachers who really want the best for students and are willing to look at them as their own special person. Students have to know we care about them as individuals.
