Is It Good for the Children?
Reflections on 55 Years
We honor the legacy of our founders, women and men who,
Before laws decreed it, before parents dared dream it,
Battled for the good of the children - ALL children.
We hear their echo in our partners, empowering a better world;
We hear their petition in our parents, pursuing the destination of hope;
We hear their passion it in our staff, sharing the vocation of growth.
We offer our gratitude to those who came before us, those with us now,
and those yet to come,
Each an integral part of a timeless journey toward a better world,
Where we never cease to ask, “is it good for the children?”
