Back to School Night - The
Real Superstars
To Our Staffulty:
Sometimes
I wish you could be me. As I walked around the entire school last night, I wish
you could have listened to all the conversations I had. I wish you could have
seen all the smiles I received. I realized what I already knew: You guys
are the Real Superstars. The heck with the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, movies, and
television. When it comes to changing lives and impacting futures, no one can
influence our future more than you. I had many conversations with dozens
of parents both before and after our 107th Annual Belhaven Back to
School Night.
The
dialogues before they met you revolved around your strength and the integral
part you played in helping this community heal. They pointed to the
unselfishness you displayed in keeping us strong.
The
conversations when they were leaving continued the excitement they felt when
they heard you speak and the anticipation of a wonderful school year.
People
stayed around the lobby to take their turn in telling me their different
stories, they shared with each other and the excitement they were feeling for a new
school year. I finally stepped in my car around nine.
I
wish you could be me but I’m glad you are you.
Thank
you for all you do!
