Brian -I saw the press release inviting members of the press to take a tour of the new building tomorrow. I hope that you will be able to attend. You need to see for yourself what you helped make happen.
I walked my boys to school this morning and the smiles on the faces of all the children and their parents was an amazing thing to see. Smiles from ear to ear on the kids and tears of joy from the parents. I must admit I was one of those weepy parents. Finally having the children and the staff home in their brand new school was worth every fight, every hit, every disparaging word or comment, every sleepless night and every tear. Knowing that in the end the majority of the parents came together and demanded together that our children belonged in their new building was worth it. It was a long, difficult, personally painful fight for me and I would do it all over again exactly the same way to see the faces of this community this morning.
Please try to take the tour. Thank you for everything.

COMMENT:
Thank You For Your Very Kind Words
It Looks Like The School The Greenwich Board Of Education And It's School Administrators Flawlessly Pulled Off This Big Transition Into Ham Ave Without Any Hitches, Because I Have Not Heard One Complaint From Any Hamilton Avenue Parent Or Teacher.
This Was Only Possible, Because Of The Dedicated And Diligent Families Who Never Gave Up.
I know That The Small Children Of Hamilton Avenue School Are So Proud Of Their New $31 Million School And Their Very Resilient Parents.
Hamilton Avenue Families Clearly Have Shown That Parental Involvement Can Make A Big Difference In Their Children's Educational Careers.
Unfortunately, Greenwich Roundup Is All Talk And No Action When It Comes To Ham Ave.
I Wont To Be Able To Go To The Press Tour, Because I Was Working Until 5:30 This Morning And Little Later Today I Have To Go To Harrison And Fix A Door At A Proposed CVS Site.
After That I Have Go To Harvest Time Church Up On King Street And Once Again Volunteer To Be The Church's Chief Beverage Officer For The Tuesday Night Activities.
I Need To Be On Time For This Coffee Bar Assignment, Because Last Week I Was A Little Late And The Ladies Who Run The Church Office Had To Start Setting Up My Coffee Tables In The Lobby.
Tonight I Will Ask Some Members Of My Church To Say Prayers That The Hamilton Avenue Children Are Exceptionally Focused As They Prepare For The All Important CMT Tests In A Few Weeks.
