IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS

 by Superintendent Robert "Bob" Lewandowski 

I am rarely surprised, but today Fifth Grade Teacher, Lloyd Phillips, called me to his classroom and said that he had something for me. Friend of the Phillips Family, Anthony Patch, Director of College Scouting for the Philadelphia Eagles hooked Lloyd up with his request. Lloyd told Anthony about the Kansas City Chief crazed superintendent that he worked with knowing that Patch worked closely with Andy Reid while Andy was the head coach at Philadelphia. I am not sure of the details shared with Anthony by Lloyd, but I am shocked by the results. Anthony sent Lloyd a Kansas City Chiefs hat, shirt and a signed photo to give to his superintendent.  WOW! It is truly the little things that make a difference.

All I have to say is Lloyd Phillips, you are the BOMB! Anthony Patch, thank you for making him look so good! AND, Andy Reid, thank you for looking out for those that have served you. MOST OF ALL, my prayers to you, Andy, and your family concerning the loss of your son Garrett.

Coach Reid, your success is proof that you can't keep a good man down! This signed photo will be framed and hung in my office as a reminder of perseverance, resiliency and leadership.

Coach Phillips, thank you for being the difference! This autographed photo will serve as a reminder of kindness, support, belonging and friendship (the stuff that makes resiliency possible).

GO CHIEFS!
