A Tribute To LEROY GLAZIER @ Fund Raiser

 

A benefit was held for the late Leroy Glazier in St. Cloud about a month ago.  (8.10.2008)  The place was WALL TO WALL people most of the day. The estimated turnout for the day was close to 1,000 people. With the exception of a break for a live auction, live country music was performed by many, many entertainers from 2 pm 'til 11:30 pm.  A very good time was had by all, and a very substantial amount of money was raised. DigElogROCORI was there to record this event and here's a tribute letter that was read during the benefit from one good music friend to another.

After a long first half filled with scoring, the temperature began to drop and the fog rolled into Spartan Stadium. At times the players had trouble seeing the ball let alone gripping it in their hands. Down by just one score, the Spartans leaned on their defense to stop the Otters playmakers. Watch the second half of the game as the Spartans fought to pull out a win against a great undefeated opponent.

Jerry Sparby #4 * A TRIBUTE TO A ROCORI ICON

In DigElog ROCORI’s fourth and final installment of Cold Spring Elementary Principal Jerry Sparby’s “leaving a legacy” stories, Jerry details a bit of advice he has for those educators who follow him.

Jerry has a sincere concern about the direction schools have been forced to take in regards to testing students.  School isn’t always about the test score that a child receives.

As adults, we must learn that the most important thing we can give a child is love. And there is no such thing as a kid who can't be loved or who doesn't need love.

We thank Jerry Sparby for his 37 years of unselfish dedication and commitment to ROCORI kids.  Our community and our world is a better place because of the difference Principal Sparby made.
