My kind of President




Henry was elected President of his Middle School Student Council, yesterday. His platform included improving the lunch line system and working on more community service projects in advisory groups. Oliver had the brilliant suggestion during the campaign to hand out Oh, Henry bars, and we decided that his title is Campaign Director.

Henry often slips through life with an ease and joy that belie his inner strength and wisdom. I'm so proud of my son and thrilled that he earned this position of leadership!

  11. 20 years from now when someone runs a profile piece on the hot new candidate, they'll find this photo, I will see it, & hopefully still have enough wits about me to remember this. I hope they're still making Oh, Henry bars then.
