[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll be very honest.  You are very welcome at our school, but your reputation preceeds you.  If you want to be part of our community, that is great.  If you want to "takeover" our school or act like you are doing us a favor by sending your kids here, it could be rough. We are maybe more egalitarian than Haycock so dont assume AAP kids and their parents always come first.  "Do onto others..."[/quote]

As Cluster 1 Haycock parents have said about their own mouthy minority, please don't judge all of the incoming families by what you have heard at meetings or read here.  Many of us watched the brawl from the sidelines and are now looking forward to a fresh start.  I live in Pimmit Hills, so some of you are already my neighbors and friends.  Now our kids will also go to school together, and that's great.

I will be equally honest and say that I will arrive feeling somewhat defensive.  I thought for years that Haycock was "our" school and then was told in no uncertain terms this year that I was mistaken.  I do not wish repeat that at LR.  I will arrive with a willing spirit and helping hands, and hope that you will make room for me on your PTA and in your parent community.  Remember that "egalitarian" also means making room for dissenting opinions and suggestions that may differ from the way you have always done things.   I have no plans -- or desire! -- to take over, but I do want a voice.

If you don't treat us as though you folks are doing us a huge favor by taking our kids, I will do my best to temper pushy behavior by my fellow AAP parents.  Deal? :wink:[/quote]
