Gratitude...

Lately, we've talked a lot about the importance of being thankful. Thankful for friends and family, grateful to have a roof over our head and healthy foods to eat, the list could really go on and on. This short video sums up a lot about how valuable it is to be grateful for what we have.  And at our school, we sure do have A LOT!  

 

Meeting Salva Dut!

We are SO very lucky to have the opportunity to meet Salva Dut this Friday!  If you were one of the many that snatched up Linda Sue Park's book, A Long Walk To Water, you'll be especially excited to see this man in person.  His journey is incredible, his compassion is inspiring and his work is something we can all aspire to achieve.  If you're interested in learning more about him, have a look at this website, Water for South Sudan.  Get ready to be inspired!

212 degrees....are you giving it that extra degree in life?

At 211 degrees, water is hot.  At 212 degrees, it boils. And with boiling water comes steam.  And steam can power a locomotive.  One extra degree makes all the difference.  
And, the one extra degree of effort in life separates the good....
from the GREAT!   Are you giving life that extra degree??
