One of my business customers is a school in downtown Phoenix that focuses on "at-risk" students and homeless children. In their attempt to provide these children with the tools they will need in life, they teach some truths that I find very refreshing. One sign had always caught my eye since the first day I visited the school. This weekend I took a picture of it.
Everything in this school is setup to give children the understanding they need to break the cycle of being at risk, for being homeless. The school has amazing teachers and administrators. My son earned his Eagle Scout award by performing his Eagle Project there. My second son is now gearing up to repeat this action as he is learning to make contact and follow up with the service/volunteer director for the school.
Above the school principles office is this saying: "We teach them correct principles, and let them govern themselves." How cool is that? This philosophy is why I think Children's First Academy (CFA) is so cool!
Children's First Academy, thanks for all you do for the community and for allowing the community to serve you.
(if you can't read the picture, this is what it says:
I am NOT the experience nor actions of my parents
It matters not how I became
But that I am
I am courage
I am compassion
I am hope
I am strong . . . I am here
You cannot define me as I choose who I become
I am the future
