<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.5pt">I was agonizing about this year's theme, because I felt it promoted screen-time and commercialism, and wishing that Heydi were still here, because I wanted her to take the lead with this theme, she would have
rocked it. But I didn't have Heydi, and I needed to make the program work within my convictions. We had already chosen a few local heroes, then I had an idea: Why not ask the local schools to each choose a hero from among their staffs? </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.5pt">The schools loved the idea, they got bookmarks and posters with their school heroes, the kids are totally stoked that one of their buttons (we give away buttons instead of toys) will have someone from their
school on it. We have 2 custodians, a music teacher, a PE teacher and a Vice-Principal.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.5pt">So what I thought might be the most lame program ever is turning into one of our most popular programs ever. My hope is that more kids will participate because of this connection to their school. We plan
a huge Super-Hero Training Day at the end of August and have invited all of the local and school heroes to join us! <o:p></o:p></span></p>

you can see the posters there!<span style="font-size:9.5pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
