The second school district I worked in had a mission statement that said (I’m paraphrasing) that we committed to treat every child as if that child was our own. That mattered to me. I thought about that every day of my time there, and still think of it years later. Treat every child as if they were our own.

Tomorrow we vote. I’m not telling you how to vote, I’m asking you to vote. I voted by absentee ballot. I voted as if I was voting for the world that I want for my children, for my grandchildren. I ask that you do the same. However you vote, please vote for candidates that support the world you want our children to inherit. And please, please vote.
