Education is the foundation upon which we build our future.

It's our responsibility to pass on what we inherited, not to squander it, but to build on it.

It is up to us to live up to the legacy that was left for us, and to leave a legacy that is worthy of our children and of future generations.

It is time for us to turn a corner and come together, put our differences behind us and focus on the future.

We must work to help all families and all communities realize their dream of a better future.

Education can lift individuals out of poverty and into rewarding careers.
