Greg Mortenson visits Hollins!

Just a quick note-- Greg Mortenson is visiting Holllins University today and thanks to some wonderful parents who work at Hollins, we were able to meet with him for half an hour.  He was so thoughtful and our students were captivated.  Our school raised almost $750.00 to donate to Pennies for Peace and we were able to present a check to him.  Several students read paragraphs they had written to him about why they consider Greg to be a hero.  My favorite part was when a student asked Greg what his inspiration is and who are his heroes.  Greg's answer?  Children.
