What is success? It can be many things, actually. Perhaps one can be successful in business, athletics, music, service-to-others, "first one in the family to attend college," or even "person who saved a life." You see, success CAN be many things. Think of the number of students that have graduated from our high school in the last 5 years alone! The impact of all those students "paying it forward" in some way could really be amazing, couldn't it?
This is a project open to the community and to YOU. I am hoping people (or a group working together) will submit a "product" of some sort to be shared.This product can be a one page "commercial" about the individual, a You-Tube video (we could link to it), or perhaps a piece of art (scanned/saved as a pdf, jpg --along with a short caption).
We hope to showcase these success stories on our Web site, and at the Ruth Butler building during the summer celebration.
Here is a form to help people organize their thoughts for a product, but we will appreciate a "finished project" such as a neatly typed document or a video link that is "ready to go."

EXAMPLE:
Mr. Don Aronson, former Lemmer Elementary School teacher, agreed to tell the FIRST story. It is about his father. I am including the neatly typed document he put together, as well as the YouTube video link, so that you can see an example.

Michele, this is such a lovely idea. Knowing Mr. Aronson since I was in 5th grade at Lemmer and in his choir at Bethany, it is a sweet surprise to hear this story from him. Mr. Aronson is a National Treasure, that is for sure.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure who, of the many people I know, that I could suggest for this project, but I am connected to many kids who went through EAPHS and the drama and music department and have continued to pursue lives filled with the arts.
Good luck and I will follow your progress.
Sincerely,
Suzi Banks Baum
