You go, Bres parents!

I was lucky enough to spend a few hours this morning over at the Bres, where parents have organized a "Community Playground Building" event for today and tomorrow. I know they still need help for Saturday, if they are to finish the new playground.

In both the real and symbolic sense, a new community is being built at each of our schools this year, with the reconfiguration. It was wonderful to see the energy and commitment, and the dedication.

I spoke with dozens of parents with kids at the Bres, and they all spoke about how nice the environment is, and how welcoming the Bres has been.

We have had a dark and difficult time this year. But as the Boss says,

"Show a little faith, there's magic in the night..."

The magic appears, right when you need it. Thanks, Bres parents, staff and community folks.
