Lead with Humility Serve with Love Trust in Providence
Mr. Wagner's Letter
This will be my shortest letter ever.
My grandson started pre-school recently and I went with him to check out his new classroom. Organizations spend a great deal of time and energy wordsmithing elaborate vision statements, so I was struck by the profound simplicity of the house rules posted on the wall: Be nice * Share * Help others What if everyone did this all the time? Have a great Fall Break!
