What a great day at Seabreeze. Thank you families for the donations to the Irondequoit Community Food Cupboard ! We stopped there on our walk up to the park. 320 kids stopping traffic to drop off their donations! The weather was perfect!

Happy Father's Day to all of our DE dads and to those individuals who choose to take on that role for kids!
There is a great deal to remind us that today’s kids are amazing. We all need to reframe out internal dialogue when things seem bleak…or hard.
Yesterday I took a pretty nasty fall as I was walking down the stairs from the stage following our Flag Day/Awards Ceremony.
I was trying to take a sip of water and COMPLETELY missed the last step. Never mind that my wife has always told me I can’t chew gum and walk at the same time 🤣
Thankfully, most everyone had their backs to me as they exited the auditorium, except two third grade classrooms. I did not hear one laugh, but rather genuine concern, empathy, and a whole lot of “Mr. Roach are you ok?” I was so dang proud of those kids and the qualities they displayed. I went to each of those classrooms today to thank them and tell them to never change! DE Kids are simply the best!
BTW- I’m good! Thank you for raising them right.
