In the 1950's broadcaster Edward R. Murrow began a radio program entitled This I Believe with the intention of chronicling peoples beliefs. It was revived in 2005 to encourage people to write and share essays describing the core values that guide their daily lives. Over the years as I have listened to these essays I have been inspired, brought to tears numerous times, and proud of everyday people sharing extraordinary beliefs and accomplishments.
Back in 2005 I heard writer and broadcaster Studs Turkel share his belief in community.
"It is the community in action that accomplishes more than any individual does, no matter how strong he may be."
February 11th we have the opportunity to be that community in action at the Project Peace Day of Peace. We are able to accomplish so much more together as we build more sustainable communities at Claremont Middle School and B.O.S.S.
Invite your friends, colleagues, and neighbors to participate in the community we engage in.
