(Community Matters) Packing away my camera, I found pictures from last week’s lunch with godson, Nico at Matthews Elementary (in Clarksville). Can’t believe I forgot to post about this.
Nico was a gracious host, gave me a super tour of the school and introduced me to his teacher and friends. Extraordinary diversity in Matthew’s student body (even offering bilingual education in Chinese, Korean & Spanish) and highly engaged parents & families – over 2,700 have volunteered 13,000 hours (enrollment currently at 397 students). Their PTA impressive, this year alone raising funds for a half-time technology teacher, equipping all classrooms with updated maps and globes and continuing to raise money to replace 10 classroom computers.
Nico emailed asking that I have lunch with him. Glad I did and really glad he’s our favorite 9-yo godson – soon to be 10!
