It's good to be a parent

Let me just say there were times when I questioned if we did the right thing by sending our kids to Catholic schools. However today was not one of them. One of Cole's teachers (he teaches tech ed. Computer drafting and stage design) recently had a stroke because his cancer has spread all over. The kids found out that the insurance is willing to cover only 70% because they feel this is pre existing. The Kids not the parents organized a benefit for this teacher. They have already raised close to $5000 before this. They had a spaghetti dinner, bake sale, silent auction and basket sale. 3 bands donated their time and talents. I give the kids credit. Cole was there since 9:50am it started at 11:30. They had so many kids working they were sending them away. The teacher got out of the hospital for a day pass and he looks pretty good with all things considering. Bill started to approach him and he grabbed him right away. This type of event makes me proud to be a part of this community. I just wish there was something more we could do.
