I had no other title choice for these two events I would like to write about.
1) I drove up from the high school to the middle school for our first community meeting of the year. On my way, I passed a group of my students standing right outside the middle school at a car, just hanging out... and drinking alcohol. They didn't even try to hide it. They actually waved at me with 40's in their hands. Well? What can you do.
2) The community meeting was great. Some may even call it inspirational. The question is... will it stick? Will the community and parents bond together to prove to our kids that "yes we can?" Well? Will they?
