Around 300 kids and family enjoyed a carnival inside Ford's gymnasium today. The festivities were put on by the 7th and 8th graders of Hillel Academy in Marblehead with the support of Becky Shepard, Jerry, and Karen.
Fun activities like face painting. a couple variations on the old bean bag toss, and bowling. Most of the kids walked away with prizes. Madison Wiley won a jar of Skittles by being the one who was closest in guessing the number the jar contained. Malik Ellis walked away with a jar of jelly beans.
Maria Carrasco from the LSC was there observing the fun. This was the kind of activity a school should be involved with to be a vital part of the community. This must represent what Dr. Latham has talked about when she talks about the mandate that the schools have been charged with to be involved with the total continuum of care for our kids.
This is exactly what the children of Lynn need...Stanley you forgot why it happened and who made it happen...DR. CLARIE CRANE IS A ONE OF A KIND PRINICPAL WHO CARES ABOUT THE CHILDREN...PLEASE DO NOT give credit to the super, in fact, did she attend? When the Super. has a function @ 90 Commercial Street for students and parents, then I'll believe the involve part LOL!
ReplyDeleteI don't live in the Ford district, but please thank Dr. Crane and yourself for letting the rest of us know someone is caring about the kids and the community!
PUT DR. CRANE IN THE SUPERITENDENT'S POSITION...SHE DESERVED IT BECAUSE SHE KNOWS AND LOVES CHILDREN, EXPERIENCE WITH BEING AN ADMINISTRATOR, AND TRULY CARES!
THANK GOD FOR CLAIRE & STANLEY!
I thank you for your kind words. I'm sure Dr. Crane feels appreciative as well. You are right that the focus should be on the kids.
ReplyDeleteThank Hillel!
ReplyDeleteWe are very fortunate to have such good neighbors!
ReplyDeleteDr. Crane is wonderful and so innovative - Maria Carrasco and Donna Coppola were the only ones though that voted to have her as the superintendent two years ago! Think how different things in the schools would be if the rest of the group voted for her instead of Latham!
