“Great schools did not all look the same. They were not all urban or rural, wealthy or poor, public or independent. Two of the most wonderful schools were in diametrically opposing environments, but the common characteristics were palpable among all of them: Respectful and visionary principals and administrators, engaged and empowered teachers, smiling children, and warm interactions between and among these three essential cohorts. There were other things: vibrant and individualistic work on the walls, evidence of school-wide events and initiatives, teachers who were moving around the classroom as children engaged in work, and children whose bodies were at ease — but whose eyes were trained on the task ahead.”

A Tribute To Light
Cristóbal Vila gives us the short film Lux Aeterna, a journey in light, watched best in full screen. Light, that particle and wave, that bendable and splittable duality that sets a speed limit for anything with mass … it travels billions of miles to illuminate our days, nights, and dreams, and it even gives weight to a shadow.

When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of ‘disaster,’ I remember my mother’s words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers - so many caring people in this world.
