Fear of Success

I saw an interesting movie over the weekend, It’s called “Akeelah and the Bee.” It follows the often used plot of incredible underdog coming out of a disadvantaged environment to compete in the national spelling bee.

Dedication to Brian Scipioni

2020-05-18T18:22:04+00:00

On December 13, 2002, an eighth grade student at Churchville-Chili Middle School, Brian Scipioni, died unexpectedly of meningitis.  I was asked to prepare and read to an emergency staff meeting, and minutes later to the school community, a message of condolence and hope.  The message I put together began a nearly nine year record of twice-weekly “Words of Wisdom,” which I wrote and delivered to our school community.  Many of my messages are assembled on this website as well

Black History Month

2020-05-16T18:32:40+00:00

Today is the first day of February which means it’s the first day of Black History Month. It began in 1976 to commemorate the achievements of African-Americans down through history, but it also provides a door which can open between the races, to begin the dialogue on what unites all of us and what provides our unique heritages.

My words today are a sandwich really. Yesterday’s Women’s History Month Quiz answer is half the sandwich. Tomorrow’s St. Patrick’s Day Irish tradition is the other half. The two people I’m talking about spent many years together and have had many moving words written and performed about their lives.
