Here is an email received from a principal at another elementary school in Woodbury: ---- Sometimes the context in which a compliment is received says as much or more than words themselves. On Wednesday, the district superintendent brought together all systems leaders for district 833. This included all building principals and department leaders with district-wide responsibilities such as finance, facilities, food service, transportation, etc. We were asked in advance to share one or two Points of Pride as we reflected on the past year. There were many predictable points of pride shared: increased test scores, faculty and students rallying around a cause, goals accomplished, etc. In this setting, Kristine Schaefer, the Woodbury Elementary principal shared about Kids Hope USA. She shared her early hesitancy about the offer from a church, how she watched the dedication of the mentors and most of all the positive impact mentors had on students. Immediately, other principals asked about the program. What I find gratifying regarding the efforts you have put forth is that Kristine was not offering this for your benefit. This was a Point of Pride that she was sharing with her peers regarding a high point of the year at Woodbury Elementary. Well done to you and all of the mentors! ---- Thankful for all those who in any way touched this program this past year, who in turn touched the heart of a child in need. Blessings!
