Last night we held an information session for those interested in joining Acton Middle School.  The room was packed.

Without being asked, current MS Eagles and parents showed up in force.  Some of the Eagles had gone home to dress up; others stayed after school to prepare the classroom.  All the Guides were all in attendance too; eager to answer questions.

During the session, several Eagles gave beautiful and honest testimonials – a courageous act in a roomful of strangers; a number of parents gave direct and moving testimonials too.

Afterwards, in the classroom, MS Eagles were showing their work to interested parents and applicants.  All without anyone asking them to do so.

Why?  Because they care.  Because it’s their school, and it matters who we allow into the community.  Because they know they are going to change the world, and that means every admissions slot is precious, and should be treated as such.

What an amazing group of human beings, and an honor to work with them.
