This morning I had the fabulous opportunity to hang out with the staff at Big Sky High School. What I like best about this is that it gives me a chance to be in the presence of teachers, school counselors, school psychologists, and other great people without whom our entire civilized culture in the U.S. would devolve. It reminds me of my political platform (should I ever run for public office). Here it is:
If we want a clean and sustainable environment and if we want a functional economy and if we want an excellent health care system and if we want a country where we have justice for all, then we all better remember that the road to all those things runs right through EDUCATION!
Okay. That being said, I told the wonderful staff at Big Sky that I’d post my powerpoint here and so here it is:
And here’s a photo of my daughter just before or after my exorcism:)

Thank you so much for being here to enlighten and encourage our communication with students! We really appreciate you taking the time to work through this process with our staff!

Thanks for the note Jennifer. It was my pleasure. I’ve been on a high since the talk. Then I realized I stopped at Starbucks and had a Venti something. Now I’m thinking it’s partly a natural high and partly chemical. Oh well. Go Eagles:).
