“There must be something you can do.” These words were inscribed for me in a copy of The 57 Bus by author, Dashka Slater. When I read this, I felt put on the spot even though I was reading them in isolation. No one was there to push me or question me, but I felt that push coming from within. I was looking inward asking myself, “Well, isn’t there something you can do?” The answer is a resounding yes. We can all do something. Actually lots of somethings. The 57 Bus is a beautiful, heart-wrenching book that points out the vast work that still needs to be done in terms of reforming the juvenile justice system in America, the practice of trying minors as adults, the lack of appreciation and respect for the LGBTQ community. Sometimes the list of things that need to be done is daunting, but what if each of us, every day, took a look inside ourselves and insisted on action?- there must be something you can do. So what can I do? I can protect the academic and social well-being of my students, I can teach my children to value the dignity and worth of themselves and all those they encounter, I can keep an open mind to new ideas and perspectives, I can use less and save more, I can carpool, I can lean into uncomfortable realities in order to promote change, I can keep acknowledging that there is always something I can do. There must be something you can do, too.   -Jennifer Edgar-Johnson, Board Trustee
