This is an inspiring story, and as a teacher, I especially appreciate learning about initiatives around the community through which people are coming together to make a difference in each other's lives. These students who put forth such determination and efforts sometimes don't even realize how much they, in fact, impact the life of a teacher! We, as teachers, often find such inspiration from those individuals who share their compassion and motivation with those around them. With a program like this, the atmosphere that is created by those who share this respect for learning and self-determination to succeed becomes refreshingly energetic and productive. Thank you for sharing this story. Sincerely, Tracy Baltutis 9th Grade English Teacher for MPS What a wonderful program.

Kudos to everyone involved in the program. And if I may I'd like to add a quick note of my own, plus a link to a video. It's a story by Joseph about how he observed a group of kids and suddenly realized that one of them could be the "next Einstein". He decided right then and there to use his talents to help inspire kids. Great story. Here's the link, hope you enjoy it. http://www.ahamoment.com/vote/joseph This is great stuff.

That's how a person feels in a class with a teacher whose work is their joy. It's so creative of you to volunteer in this way and a great value of the volunteer who is there NOT for the money. They may not be aware of that aspect in their lives. It's not a stretch to say I'm impressed!(pun intended) XXNat Susan,

What a great experience and a great cause. Thanks again to all of the volunteers from Johnson Controls and PwC! Hope everyone had as much fun as I did.
