“In seed time, learn; in harvest time, teach; in winter, enJOY…” so says William Blake and it’s most definitely been a week wrapped in JOY!

Mrs. Stanley, Mr. Kyle, Mrs. Bass, and I loaded the white “sleigh” to deliver gifts for over 200 angels to Manna House today.  Our LME families really go above and beyond in their service and care of others in our community.  Many of our LME families themselves will benefit from the generosity shown by so many.  Thanks for showing and sharing by your actions the greatest gift of giving back to those most in need!

Our third graders delighted us with their amazing Broadway Santa musical last evening to a packed crowd.  The singing, acting, dancing, and jokes were simply sublime during this truly demanding show!  Bravos to our parents who cleverly costumed every single child–what extraordinary creativity!  Special thanks to our learners, their classroom leaders, and our specials team for sharing the beautiful gift of music with everyone this holiday season!

As we wrap up this week, here’s a question to ponder:  “What gifts do you give to others during the season (or the year) that do not come packaged in a box?”  As you know, it’s not about the physical gifts during the season; the other ways we choose to give (time, talents, service, etc.) are sometimes much more treasured than items wrapped in pretty boxes and tied with ribbons or bows…

We are blessed at LME with the gifts you and your child bring everyday to our learning community.  EnJOY a festive weekend wrapped up with those you hold dear!  🙂
