More...

EVERY CHILD COUNTS on someone to help them in their growing years.
EVERY STUDENT MATTERS to caring parents.
EVERY STUDENT MATTERS to caring and determined teachers.

THIS website is dedicated to the acknowledgement of every child, to the miracle of what they already are and the promise of what may be their`s to become. As a child knowingly or unknowingly we count on someone, often many someones, to help us in our growing years. Would that we imagine Les enfants sans frontiérs.

Also in equal proportions this website is dedicated to the proposal that every student matters. It has been my experience as an educator that no one loves students more than parents do. And too I hope parents have learned that every student matters to caring and determined teachers.

I salute every child and Bravo for every student!!!!

I have spent my 'revenue generating efforts' (what some call the work world) almost entirely with children, with students. These past 35 years in the classroom have been a total privilege offered this one human being.

To honour all the young people with whom I have shared classroom space, and as I look back in gratitude, I eagerly look forward 'indebted' to that gratitude.

Funds are being generated through my efforts and many others to assist children / students here in Canada and globally in equal approaches. All those who give are acknowledged on this web site, and information on every project is provided.

If you wish to contribute to this fundation where every penny donated goes directly to a particular need of a child / student, for every child counts and every student matters, then please, your generosity will be immensely appreciated.

I have been offered the privilege - at the very least a delightful challenge - to 'work' (oops, I mean share) with several thousand young people over the years. This website gives a 'face' to efforts honouring all these youth by paying forward to those who now count on others or who are now finding their beginning footsteps in the corridors of learning as well as those who ask but only the opportunity to attend school.

Thank you students of Ellenvale and Bicentennial (in HRSB) from 1972-2005, and students in a host of schools in HRM since then.

If tomorrow offers us the occasion to remember, today offers us an opportunity to begin that memory - but a memory of helping a child, a student, has first to be an act of doing. With apologies to the renowned literary 'giant`, my favourite half-Shakespearean quote is `to be and to do`, or as my students so patiently taught me, to do is to be, and so again with total thanks to them, with all of their generous doing, I became more than I might have dreamed.

May it first be in our hearts that Every Child Counts and Every Student Matters, and in our efforts may we indulge ourselves to a lifetime of heartwarming rewards.

Sincerely ,
Rollie Herritt
