"...we bear responsibility for every child..."

"...let us find the strength to carry on and make our country worthy of their memory."
"...let us find the strength to carry on and make our country worthy of their memory."
If for no other reason than knowing that 20 innocent children will never have the opportunity to apply to college, it's time to say, "enough already!"

Read the full text of President Obama's speech at the Newtown, CT prayer vigil.

Remember the victims of this national tragedy.

Then, take action to bring an end to the senseless gun violence that has taken too many lives, devastated too many families, and brought too much pain and sorrow to a grieving nation.

Yes! We bear the responsibility to be upstanders and not bystanders. It is our responsibility to speak out if the disabled children are not receiving the help that they need and are entitled to under IDEA. It is time to make a difference.

just reading Jane Goodall with my son for school and came across this quote of an amazing womanRead More "every individual matters, every individual has a role to play, every individual makes a difference." that is what makes our nation, our village so great everyone has an opinion whether we agree with it or not. It just saddens me to think some may not voice their opinion in the future because of the rather harsh comments which I'm sure were just meant to get a point across rather than be hurtful. Garden City residents are not afraid to get involved, to stand up for what they believe in and I am proud to live here.

Thank you GcSupporter#2 I love quotes! tells so much about the person and their beliefs and life...IRead More had to look up Principal Joe Clark after that....definitely a man I'd like to learn more about. I always try to use quotes with my children and their school work - I think the spoken and written word of others is so important!
