I feel sure they will figure out a way to spend that money if given the chance... ;) I hope they enjoy every minute of it! TOTALLY well deserved for you to get the money... and not at all surprising that you will spend it on them!
Thanks for posting that Gregg, you truly deserve the gift for what you do, not only for your kids, but all over the country. What you are doing has raised awareness and I hope it continues to. Schools NEED the arts.
Haha...it was a great moment, though! You can tell someone who works with kids b/c comments like that don't throw you off. It's just another part of the conversation. As someone who has worked with kids a lot, I'm rarely shocked by things people say :o)
On a more serious note, it's always refreshing to see someone who puts so much into their job and actually gets some recognition. You're an inspiration! And the kids are, of course, amazing!
I thank Office Max for recognizing Mr. B and rewarding him in a way that shows they are serious about ending teacher funded classrooms. Mr. B deserves to do whatever he wants with the $10,000 dollars but I hope he does something totally for himself. He deserves it.
p.s. I'm hooked on watching and listening to the PS22 chorus.
I just want to say that I always wanted a teacher like Mr. B but was never so lucky. Music is who I am. It is sometimes hard to find people who appreciate and feel music as strongly as I do. Tears came to my eyes when I saw that these students do. Keep up the good work Mr. B. These kids will never forget you for who you've helped them become and how you have helped them grow.
