Motivational Speaker

As you already know, I get easily distracted (not unlike your children).

Last week the teachers and administrators at school with some help from a couple of parents planned their first Family Fun Night for grades 7-9 focusing of improving family involvement. We have about 2000 students in the school - an urban school. We had about 30 families sign in and fed about 200 including participating staff and upperclassmen as helpers. It was a great beginning!

The motivational speaker was Alan Johnson. As I understand it he's a parent, a teacher,and as it turns out an African American worship leader. If you ever have opportunity to see and hear him, he tells us the things we all need to hear if we're working with kids.
