A Safe Place to Sing

I printed this and placed it on the music stand where the singers scanned in for attendance every day.

In a safe place, people are kind. Fighting, sarcasm, backbiting and name-calling are exceptions. Kindness, consideration and forgiveness are the usual way of life. In a safe place, there is laughter, not just canned laughter like television, but real laughter that comes from sharing meaningful work and play. People can laugh at themselves. In a safe place, there are rules. The rules are few and fair and are made by the people who live and work there, including the students. In a safe place, people listen to one another. They care about one another and show that they do.

This is a SAFE place to sing. ~Rich Nace
