Another wonderful story has emerged from the rubble of another tragedy... Once again teachers threw themselves in to harm's way in order to protect the children in their school. Just as they did in Newtown, Connecticut, teachers in Moore, Oklahoma took care of the safety of the school children with no regard for their own lives! Lying on top of children, protecting them against the wrath of nature, teachers did what they always do... react to protect the children in the classroom -- even if it means their own lives might be in danger!
This is what schools are about! Beyond the mortar and bricks, the textbooks and the curriculum, it always comes down to one thing... a group of dedicated adults who have shown time and time again that they will do anything to protect children, everyday! Seven children did not survive that tragedy, but without the unselfish acts of the teachers and staff of Plaza Towers Elementary School, the results could have been much worse.
Thank you to all educators!
Till next time....
