Ive been waiting until today to post some details about the outpouring of love and generosity our school has received this week. The kids and I went through the emails today and read them aloud and marked a map of the United States (and Canada!) of where the emails, phone calls, and drop offs have come from. We have had donations of onions, BBQ Sauce, squash, as well as monetary donations to our gardening program and local homeless shelter. Donations and letters have come from British Columbia, Washington state, Oregon, California, Arizona, Colorado, Michigan, Nebraska, Texas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, New York, and Maine. Farming communities is my feeling. And many are onion producing communities. The letters are written with such tenderness and love. Many literally bring tears to the eyes of the folks in the office who first receive them and then to me and the kids. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We were right. Love and kindness do prevail.
