Lovely April showers mean new growth - and not just for the plants and flowers. This spring as we wrap up another successful year of the SALI program, we take a moment to breathe in the fresh air, soak in the sunshine, and give thanks for the opportunity God has given to be where we are. Having been able to be a part of these kids lives in the classroom and helping them grow in the right direction has truly made a difference in my own life, too. I came in to give a lesson, but left learning more myself. Funny how that works. I will truly miss those kids over the summer - and as for my 8th graders at Polk, I know it will be a tearful goodbye as they go off the next stage of their lives.
But all things must grow and change. As spring passes to summer, our lives pass on to the next chapter in this great story in which we find ourselves. But the memories of the great and most meaningful times last forever . . . or at least until the next year of SALI!
Thanks once again for your prayers and support of our program. And to our teachers - we know that all it takes is one person to make a difference; we couldn't have done it without you. Thanks.
Brandon
