Heading Home

My last communication today from Carolyn is filled with joyful reflection of what she and her ISD students and fellow staff have experienced in Washington. She sent a copy of an article Sen. Dick Durbin sent that appears in the Chicago Sun Times today about her students. These kids feel empowered, and that is what every good teacher wants for his/her students.

Carolyn is now sleeping on the bus as they head back to Illinois. I hope she can sleep for a good long time. What she has done for these kids and ISD staff is remarkable. I can't say enough about how much I admire my sister Carolyn.
