Thank you SO much for recognizing these students who try so hard. We received the jersey this past week and presented it to him at a family picnic this weekend. He was so surprised, excited, and grateful! We're still hoping for training camp so we can attend the Friday night scrimmage again. Hope to see you there!

I wear this jersey with tremendous pride in recognition of your altruistic nature and commitment to education within the community, thank you for the award. Furthermore, congratulations of achieving your college diploma and joining yet another elite cohort... This one of educated men and women! I idolize your athletic achievements and abilities but nothing can outshine your character and integrity. Hopefully you'll read this post and accept my words of gratitude. Mr. Polamalu,

I have a teacher in my school who was so flattered and heart-felt after she learned her student that she submitted will be receiving a gift. You continue to positively affect many lives on and off the field. Thank you for being a fine role model and demonstrating the character that all students can follow. Go Steelers!

I understand, via an email that I received, that one of my students is going to receive an award. I am so very thankful for this, and want you to know that this will be a life-changing thing for her, as she doesn't get awards often, and this will make her realize how much her really hard work pays off! Thanks so much for promoting education, it's the best equalizer in the world! Thank you for doing this.
