Gifts

Let's be mindful of the gifts we can
share with kids. Perhaps not the very ones
most people associate with this time of the year.

Endearing ones like "grit,"
so children will not hesitate to carry on.
"Empathy" for the needs or desires
of others, especially when these
feelings are different from yours.
Knowledge that mistakes or failure isn't
the end, rather a door to a new beginning.
An all important truth:  find joy in each day!

gifts for all, to carry us into a new year.

O Christmas Tree!

Decorating a tree, a

tradition for countless families. 

Whether inside or out, that tree 

often bestows special beauty and 

joyful holiday memories for so many. 

Annually I enjoy seeing the first 

lady accept the White House Tree.

Somewhere a proud farmer is 

relishing the fact that their 

pine will usher in the holidays

 at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue 

NW, in Washington, D.C.

 Merry Christmas to you and

all whom you love & hold dear.

I wish for all is immesurable

joy in the coming New Year!

We Can Do This

Success requires kids to be both resilient
and motivated.  They can learn to be both
but pupils have to learn and to persist
even when schoolwork is challenging.
