Learn to live

There is danger in letting life creep into a classroom. The lovely ivy creeping up the side of a wall ultimately destroys what the wall was meant to protect.

There is danger in letting voices chase their own music The beauty of a choir disintegrates into a cacophony of noise that threatens the calm order we cherish.


There is danger in public spaces. Kooks and oddballs and stray dogs threaten those of us who just want to get a little sun on a lovely October day.

October zinnias

We had a very long week here in Bloomfield, and it's going to be a long time before the sunlight soothes our sadness.

Our children showed us this week they can handle life outside our cinder block walls, that they can stand in silence when they needed to scream, that it's not the kooks and stray dogs we need to fear.

Our school motto is "Learn to Live"--and that's what we do here.






Not one corporation wasted a single tear about losing a potential worker for the global economy.
