'It's kind of a 'good news' past ten days -- Maryland's number one, and here we are -- we open up this week with the best of the best. but I gotta tell ya -- we get these names, and Darla tells me who they are and she says 'you can't tell anybody!' -- 'you better tell the superintendents' -- then she comes back in and says 'do you think we ought to tell anybody else except the press?' -- and I tell her 'this is like your show -- (laughter) ... 'So we have this thing of confidentiality and she goes 'It's gotta be a surprise!' So I walk in and go 'Maryland Blue Ribbon Schools.' (big laughter)  	
		I mean, you know ... (pause) so surprise!' (big laughter) .	
		(Darla) 'Can I just tell you -- now that you know that you are the Blue Ribbon Schools -- this is the Blue Ribbon Schools Medallion, that our leader wears when he talks to the news... (big laugh & claps) 	
		(Bernie) 'But anyway look -- there's 1500 schools, and there's six schools. I mean this is a great honor -- you know when I was a local superintendent, I had a Blue Ribbon School and it was absolutely a great honor. The communities I will tell you -- love this.'

'Those people take great pride because number one they know that they've got a fabulous school, but this is an affirmation saying that this is a great honor in a great neighborhood, so you're gonna get a lotta press out of this, and you deserve that, and your people are gonna be really excited about it.'

'When the rubber hits the road, it's the classroom teacher ... doin' the job ... that makes this happen. And I tell you -- make sure you tell them I personally want to congratulate them and thank them for all the hard work that they do on a day-in, day-out basis.'
