Busload of NYC disadvantaged school kids on campus today with alum teacher.

[Class of 67]

Remember the alum teacher who had a Penn State themed school room in the Brownsville section? He took his first graders to the MSG PSU basketball game this winter after a successful GoFundMe campaign supported by generous fellow alums. His next goal was to raise funds to take the kids on campus. That fundraiser again was successful and a bus is enroute this a.m. with dozens of children from the school. They will tour campus this afternoon. Daniel, the teacher, requests in an email to contributors that you give the kids a "We Are!" if you are on campus and see them. I love this teacher's enthusiasm.

Daniel is an awesome individual. I hope he and his class had the opportunity to meet with at least one of the Paternos. They individually and collectively represent what PSU "is" and why we are what "We Are".

If not, perhaps the next trip.
