I'll be touching on parents being there for their kids.

Sometimes, the only people that the parent of other murdered children can talk to are other parents who have experienced their pain.

All eight kids are legitimate varsity candidates. On any other team in town, they would be vying for a high playing spot.

We have a lot of parents in survival mode, but they're doing all they can to get their child the proper education.

Every individual face, a grandmother or grandchild or parents and their two kids, they're all there waving at you and they've all come to see you, it's as simple as that. They're not there simply by chance and that's very, very humbling.

[Parents can't get enough of the report cards.] In previous years at the State Fair, ... the department had kids throw beanbag frogs into holes. Last year, we printed out 5,000 school report cards instead. Parents would come up and say, 'I'm thinking of moving, or using open enrollment. Can you print out a report card for this neighborhood school, and the schools close to it?' What a change!
