Relay for Life
Our Relay for Life team held its annual hot dog sale at the Elgin IGA yesterday. Wow! We raised almost $800.00 for a day’s work at selling hot dogs for a cause…to find a cure to cancer. I truly feel that a cure to this terrible disease is out there somewhere, not too far beyond our reach. In fact, I believe that one of the children that we teach each day might just be the person who will help to find this cure. Wouldn’t that be amazing? My dad always tells me to “go make a difference.” I charge all of us as educators to continue to “make a difference” each day. We can help our students reach for the stars and achieve their dreams by setting their expectations high. My Relay for Life team has done this by setting their team goal high. I guess I just might get another pie in my face this year if we reach our goal. A pie in the face for a good cause…I will take it anyday!
