An Achievement by Our Students that You Can't Measure

In the spirit of today's home football game, we would like to pass along an email that was sent to our Mr. Robertson, our headmaster, following last week's road game at Bremen:

Last Friday night, your school's Football team played at Bremen.  Although the score was not conducive to a happy outcome for The Walker school, I wanted to take a moment of my day to express just how impressed I was with the sportsmanship and general good nature of your athletes, students, and fans.  I have 50-yard line seats and was witness to numerous examples of your guys helping up the opposing players, pats on the helmet for good play, and displaying the politeness that is so lost in our society today.  Whatever you are doing and however you do it, please continue as it was a series of heartwarming examples of the experiences that all of us should bless upon one another.

Please pass along my best regards and wishes to your staff for job well done and continued success with the rest of your school year! 

Thank you for your time and patience in reading my e-mail. 

R. Mark Morris
Bremen, Ga.

This letter highlights one of the most impressive things about our football team and student body in general: the number of terrific moments that you get that don't show up in their grades, test scores, or on a scoreboard.
