“We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give”   - Winston Churchill—

In 2013 there was a disturbance in a freshmen class room.   While I was eating lunch, my principal sent me to the room to see what was going on.  I met Erica, the girl second from the right, leading a ‘riot’ in a room with a sub.  I told her she had better have her progress report in her pocket at all times as we were going to get to know one another.  Over the next 4 years the Breakfast Club developed.  In the end, five first ‘gen’ generation students would come together every morning for breakfast.  Some mornings were real, hard and sometimes not a word was said.  They all graduated.
