Can I share a story with you about how she changed my daughter's life?" And this parent went on to tell me about how her daughter struggled academically and socially in school. Our superintendent, then principal, spent countless hours mentoring this student to help her reach her goal of graduating from high school. This parent is certain that if it hadn't been for Amy's dedication, care and concern that her daughter may have dropped out of school. I am filled with pride that I have Amy to look up to, so that maybe some day, a parent can insert my name in the above quote and another staff member can feel that same pride because of me.
