Allie:  “"We at Journey present this Special Mission pin on an annual basis to someone who is making a substantial difference to someone who is making a substantial difference in our community, and so we’re really proud to give this to you and hope that, when you see it, you’ll think of us and continue on with the blessings that you are to the rest of our community.”
LeNora Bredsguard, Principal, Kirk L. Adams Elementary School: “Thank you so much. May I say a few things?”
Allie:  “Please do.”

LeNora: “I just want to say thank you so much, and talk about making a difference. You guys are doing amazing things here. I love that we have our collaboration between your community and our community, making us one big community, because that’s kind of what we miss. You know, I’m from a small town (I was born here, but I grew up in a small town), and I kind of miss that whole idea of community and coming together, but you guys are helping us create that right here, and I really appreciate that.
If I could tell you one quick story: When I was a little girl, my sisters were older, so they got to go to school long before I did; they got to go, and I was sad. My Mom would let me buy a school lunch, and she’d let me buy dresses, you know, to get ready, but I didn’t get to go.
So one day, when the car came to a stop, and she was getting ready to let the older girls out, I opened that door, and I just ran as fast as I could. My Mom’s like, ‘Get back here!’ She hurried and pulled over and parked, and I ran up, and I just grabbed on…it was at Mountain View Elementary School…and I was hanging onto that kindergarten fence, because I wanted to go in so bad.
I was just hanging on, and this gentleman came up to me; he says, ‘Well, what’s going on here?’ I said, ‘I want to go to school; they said I can’t go to school,’ and he was so cute. I wouldn’t get off the fence. Finally, he got me off the fence, and he says, ‘Let’s go look at kindergarten.’ So, he took me inside and walked around through that, and then he goes, ‘Now, you’re not old enough to come back until next year, but now you know what’s going to be there.’ And he was so sweet and kind, to take that moment of letting me see what’s coming down the road. And do you know what that guy’s name is?”
Audience member: “Mr. Adams.”
LeNora: “Yes, it was Mr. Kirk L. Adams. He was my principal, and I just feel so wonderful to be at his school and honor him, and it’s such an honor to me to be there for that, and developing that community, that kindness, because I remember him (although I did spend a lot of time in the principal’s office at that point). I do remember him being so kind and so caring, and he reached out to his community a lot. So thank you for helping us bring this full circle, the whole community idea.”
Allie:  “Absolutely.”
LeNora:“Thank you so much.”
