Education is the greatest profession in the world. The payoff is huge, but usually doesn't get cashed in until long after our seniors leave the halls of Homewood City School System. On a usual day, teachers are charged with pushing and pulling students in a direction that sometimes our kids are hesitant to go. BUT, for one day, a very special day coming very soon all HCS Patriots will unite for a Purpose. It started with a simple thought from David Jones to me in a Spin class in a small room in the back of the weight room at HHS on how to raise money for the American Cancer Society and honor Ms. Bagwell. It spread to a faculty of employees agreeing to spend a day Spinning and an administration who supported our effort and a student body who donated $3000 of pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters in one day. It is now a school system united to Bike for Bagwell, celebrate a pep rally, walk to Homewood Park-Relay for Life and continue to walk laps to honor those who are fighting, who have fought and all of the caregivers. This is our one day to unite. Students, teachers, administrators, parents and community all have the same Purpose. Patriots with a Purpose.
Get Moving.
