Showing Up

Why in the world does an introduction to the PAIS staff begin with a history lesson on Theodore Roosevelt? Simple. I learned something new when I walked with Jay Harvey, who has a keen interest in the presidents. He taught me this fact about young Roosevelt and I wanted to share it with you. That … and the fact that these four incredible individuals themselves are known to show up, roll up their sleeves and support schools so children and adults can thrive. Side note…I am not a fan of the term “thrive” - it doesn’t quite capture the essence of what we mean - nor do its synonyms. For now it is “good enough”…which by the way is never enough…but I digress. Back to Teddy Roosevelt…the man in the arena.
