It's important to remember that this relief effort for Hurricane Katrina victims was not initiated by teachers or administrators,

We want our teachers to get a grass-roots effort. And we have a great relationship with hotels in Las Vegas.

I feel really proud of our students and I'm proud of the teachers that we really did a concerted effort. Our school is just an open community of educators.

It's a total effort of the whole staff. It's nothing that I've done by myself. All the teachers work hard, and they don't hesitate to call me when they are concerned about a student.

I just couldn't ask for a better effort.

[The prisons are] the monuments of Australia-the Paestums [of] an extraordinary time-an effort to exile en masse a whole class.
