Today the class participated in a fund raiser to earn money for the people that live at the dump in Teguciglapa, Honduras. What an awesome day! Because of the efforts of your students $712.81 was raised by the students and faculty of CES. Wow....did you read that number?
Children are automatic givers, they are automatic forgivers, they are automatic helpers. Do you ever sit back and wonder what changes that spirit? The world is filled with all kinds of obstacles for our children. They are faced with pressures that you and I never faced as kids and will never understand. I hope you continue to help your child on their journey of giving, of caring. It can be tough at times to realize how fortunate you are but when those times arise, let your mind drift back to the images of the people living in that dump. Those children have never been clean. They have never sat at a table with dishes and silver ware. They have never had a clean glass of water. What they get came from the garbage or from someone handing it to them in a Styrofoam bowl or plastic bag. So we truly are a rich country WITHOUT the issues of starvation, exposure, filth.
Thank you for being the best parents you can be. You are doing a great job!
