We need to help students and parents cherish and preserve the ethnic and cultural diversity that nourishes and strengthens this community - and this nation.

True wealth is not measured in money or status or power. It is measured in the legacy we leave behind for those we love and those we inspire.

And in giving of yourself you will discover a whole new life full of meaning and love.
