PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dr. Stephen M. RaucherPresident–MCPSRA
I recently attended a workshop on Membership, where many ideas about recruiting new retirees to join our organization were dis-cussed. While many of these ideas were exciting, some made me feel
like a dinosaur. The consultant spoke about using Twitter, Facebook and many other social media techniques to reach potential members. She seemed surprised when many of the attendees indicated they were NOT communicating with their members and prospective members via technology. She was simply aghast that we don’t even collect or publish e-mail addresses. The fact that most of you are reading this article, from a printed page you re-ceived via US Mail, was almost foreign to her. She is 45 and that says a lot.Our active membership primarily does not “tweet” or post to Facebook multiple times per day. While many of us are comfortable with some level of technology, like e-mail, we are not all “technology savvy.” We still use personal contact, written com-munications, and the telephone to actually talk to people. And that’s more than OK in my book.Our “mission” is to spread the word about the value of MCPSRA Membership using whatever means we are comfortable in using. With a new “Class of 2016” retirees about to “graduate”, it is an opportune time to do that. Reach out and talk to a new retir-ee. Tell them about the value to them and to the community of MCPSRA. Here are some “talking points” you can use:• MCPSRA Membership is the best and least

EXCUSES, EXCUSES !Most of us who worked directly in the classroom with children could most likely write a bestselling book on excuses that kids have used to explain a variety of behaviors that did not sit well with the teacher. Some were credible, some hilarious, and some were obvious lies. Reflecting back over the years, a couple incidents stand out in my memory. Over 45 years ago when I was student teaching in a second grade classroom in a suburb of Pittsburgh, PA, my supervising teacher, who was in my opinion a real grouch, pulled aside little Joey. Looking down at his dirty, oversized, worn out tennis shoes that had no shoe laces to hold them on his feet, “Ms. Grouch” demanded that Joey explain again just why he had no laces in his shoes. “My daddy . . . ah, I - I - I lost them,” he sputtered through a cascade of tears running down his face. “Well! You go home and tell that father of yours that you may NOT come back to school again until you have laces in those shoes!” shouted the teacher. I was in total shock witnessing this exchange and could only stand there with tears in my own eyes, thinking just how wicked Ms. Grouch really was. Seeing the look on my face, the teacher explained, “I have put new shoe laces in his shoes every day this week and each day he comes back to school without any in his shoes. His father takes them and puts them in his own shoes! The only way to get him to stop taking them is to tell him that he’ll have to keep Joey at home until those shoe laces remain in Joey’s shoes.” The next day Joey came to school with shoe laces back in his shoes. During my tenure as her student teacher, I discov-ered just how compassionate Ms. Grouch really was and just how much money she took out of her own pocket to provide basic necessi-ties and school supplies for the students in her class, the majority of which came from very needy families. I bet we could all testify to the fact that most teachers have done this a lot over the years.Lots of excuses fall under the category of Why I Didn’t Do My Homework. I’ve heard ones such as It drowned in a puddle at the bus stop; My dog ate it; My dad couldn’t figure it out so he’s going to work on it today at work; I traded it for Sammy’s cookies at lunch and the list goes on. But the ones I remember the best still pull at my heart strings. The simple directions on one kindergarten assignment were to color each consonant red and each vowel blue in a list of five words. “I couldn’t do my homework last night because I don’t have any crayons,” was Sarah’s excuse. Another incident I recall was when a parent rode the bus to school with her child so she could explain to the office why her Sophia was absent the day before and to apologize for Sophia coming to school that day unprepared. “I know that I was supposed to write a note to explain her absence but we don’t have any paper or pencils at home so I couldn’t.” When asked why she just didn’t call the school, the mother said they had no telephone either. Obviously, Sophia couldn’t do her homework either without something with which to write. Does this really happen here in wealthy, affluent Montgomery County? Oh yes, indeed!The excitement and enthusiasm that children have for learning at school should not and must not be stifled by the economic hardships their families experience at home. There’s no excuse for it when we can and should be doing something about it! During the twelve years of its existence, our Toolkits Project has provided nearly 15,000 summer school Title I kindergartners with kits filled with the supplies they need at home to support their learning at school. We’ve been asked to assemble 1,685 kits this summer, but we desperately need your sup-port if we are to continue this crucial project for another year. It takes money, LOTS of it! And each year about this time we have to worry about whether or not we can continue doing it if donations don’t soon increase. PLEASE help by completing the form below and mailing it along with your tax-deductible donation as soon as possible. Let’s not let we couldn’t raise enough money be our excuse for dropping this project! Thank you SO much for your continued caring for and commitment to our county’s neediest school children.
