The Holiday Season



 



The holiday season is upon us!  Can you believe 2014 is almost over?  

Celebrating Thanksgiving is a time to reflect, feel nostalgia, and simply count our blessings.  I am thankful for good health, a family who loves me, and a job/career I enjoy.  I realize many, many people do not have any of these things. I believe we need to appreciate our good fortunes, either openly or privately.  So many other parts of the world do not have food, water, or shelter. Let's be happy we live in a country that tries to provide for everyone.

Only three more weeks until the next holiday!  Wow!  Each day that gets closer to December 19th (our last day of school!), the student's buzz of excitement gets louder and louder!  It is a happy time here.  We love seeing the students bring gifts for their friends and teachers.  That reminds me, I need to get started on my Christmas cookies.  I hand decorate each cookie I give as a gift.

We have many fun things to look forward to at IMMS the next few weeks.  Concerts and dances are coming up.  And remember, December 19th is early release at 1:45.

No matter what your beliefs are, we wish you a very happy and safe holiday season.
