May 1. 2017, Day #121 of 2017 and, as with many palindromic days, I had high expectations. Did not get much done, task wise, at work - had meetings most of the day, but the meetings I had were good ones. The split my evening between the Little League Snack Stand and being the interim leader for an Admin Team meeting at Church. Both events were filled with laughter and good works. But May Day 2017 was also a day of activism in Philadelphia. Teachers in Philadelphia marched and demonstrated to draw attention to their lack of a contract for OVER FOUR YEARS. As a product of the Philadelphia School System, I am indebted to many Philadelphia School Teachers. Generations of Philadelphians are as well. Here in my community, I stay connected to the local schools and I have been inspired to support teachers in my kids' schools. I wish more people in Philadelphia (especially those in City and PSD leadership) were just as inspired to support these amazing men and women who are on the front line in our city schools. I am inspired to shout my support for teachers (locally and in Philadelphia) from the mountaintops so others may be likely inspired.
