It takes a village to raise a child…

…as everyone who has ever been a parent, aunt, uncle, grandparent, pastor, teacher, candy lady, or cafeteria cook knows. Every person who joins that village takes a part in helping to raise a child, whether that be by providing food and shelter to nourish and protect their bodies as they grow, or by giving the knowledge necessary to help develop and hone their minds and prepare them for adulthood. Either way, the more people who are involved in this growth, the easier it is to support each and every child and make sure that every child has what he or she needs. As the old saying goes, many hands make for easy work, and every tree has many branches.

This year, men of the Whitehaven community gathered to give the students of John P. Freeman Optional School the warmest welcome possible on their first day of school. We are so honored to have had men of Reaves Law Firm give their time and energy to be apart of this beautiful event, known as the 100 Men Greeting. In it, they lined the halls of the school, clapping and cheering as the students arrived.
