Number the Stars, scene 1

I was at the TRYPS play, "Number the Stars" last Friday and I was getting my kids settled into their seats and a woman approached me from another school district. She asked, "Does Grant only recruit male teachers?" We had three there that day, my co-teacher in the fifth grade and one of our fourth grade teachers. I said no, but I guess we should. Ha! Ha! She then proceded to give me the token response, "That is SO wonderful! We need more men in education." I told her that was true and then got back to watching out for my students. I am very lucky to teach at my school. It has been positive for so many reasons, one of which is the company of men that I am able to keep.
