This is why we do what we do.

Our friends at the Cobb School in Simsbury, Conneticut, started school today. It marks the beginning of their 40th year. Looking at this original picture is not only nostalgic, it’s hopeful – full of so much compassion and promise. You can literally see the excitement and passion in everyone’s eyes. This is why we do what we do. Needless to say, that same look still adorns those who teach at Cobb, and those students who are lucky enough to attend. Forty years is a remarkable feat. Congratulations!
