Ladybug Crossing for Letter to the Editor




With the kids back to school this month, life has quickly morphed back into that frenzied buzz we call normal. Requests for your time and support begin making a regular appearance in your child’s back pack. Do you have the time to spare? Do I? Tough question.

There are those who always make the time There are those who used to, are tainted now and therefore don’t anymore. There are those who duck and run for cover. And there are those who lead like my friend, LBC.

LBC writes:
“Do NOT tell me that you work. We all work. Some of us work full time, some of us work part time, and some of us even work double time. Don’t assume that because you see me at school helping out that I don’t work. I do. I work 3 jobs. They don’t pay much, but they do indeed pay. I am highly educated. I’m not stupid. Most of us who volunteer at the school have a college education and a work history that would blow your socks off.”

I’ll let you go over and read the rest of her letter yourself. It make you grumble. It may make you roll your eyes. It make make you feel a twinge of guilt. Or, like me, it may just inspire you to fill out the next request for help flyer that comes home in your child’s book bag.
