“Henderson Hall/Barcroft Elementary School Adopt-A-School Program in Arlington, Virginia March 11, 1991 Thank you, Dr. Kahan, and to everybody else--Ms. Treadwell and Colonel Buckley, Corporal Simms, and so many others. I'm just delighted to be here with you, with the students, all the students of Barcroft, and their marine buddies from Henderson Hall. You know, this is, as Dr. Kahan said, a very special day because I am naming you and these efforts--the marines--the 400th daily Point of Light. That's something that this school and all of you can be very proud of. And since this event is so special, recognizing our 400th Point of Light, I want to tell you just for a minute what this recognition means. Some of you know that on every single day of the year except Sunday, I name as a Point of Light a person or a group serving their community somewhere in America, volunteers helping other people. I call them our Points of Light because their caring deeds shine like beacons of hope. You say, why do we honor them this way? Well, first of all, I name a Point of Light each day because I want to show the whole country that all of our problems have solutions. In fact, this country is full of solutions. You kids here just have to look around you to see that this is true--look at how the Henderson Hall marines became your ``Tuesday Tutors'' to help you in school. They've shown that caring is one of the best solutions that there is.…”
