How can I forget the feeling of camaraderie as people united together to “Occupy” and give voice to policies that need change? Thanks to all those taking action as a part of that movement! Memorable also is the feeling of camaraderie with my new colleagues as we rose from the dead as zombies to dance and add spirit to our school.
