Greetings Friends of COSEBOC,
The annual rite of passage that we call “Back to School” is well underway. Some of our nation’s schools have been open since early August and others will start after the Labor Day Holiday. It has been my tradition for the past few years to send a back to school message to our friends who parent or educate students returning to school.
I must admit that as a former principal and teacher, I wax nostalgically about the return to school and in the hopes and anticipation for a successful year of teaching and learning beneficial to every student....
On July 18, 1918, the great Nelson Mandela was born. On the cover of COSEBOC's 2018 Gathering of Leaders program book, Mandela represented the spirit of our theme, "Liberation, Empowerment and Education."

In honor of...

From day to day, I am more apt to raise a tribute to my mother—who definitely deserves every praise given. However, too frequently and unintentionally I minimize the tremendous person that my dad, Solomon Walker, was and the enormous impact that he made on my growth and development as a boy, young man, and man.
