This time of year offers the opportunity to reflect on the many blessings in my life. This year is extra special for me as I am on the cusp of becoming a grandfather for the first time!
In addition to my family, I count the staff and students of Huntsville ISD as remarkable blessings. I am grateful for the dedication and perseverance demonstrated daily within our district to improve the lives of children.
I hope each of us is thankful for the opportunity we have to be of service to others. Through this service to children, we help student learn how to learn – and learn how to live. Our work in education provides the possibility to change the future… one child at a time!
This is the time of year for rejoicing and for re-dedication. A quote from Thomas Drier says it well: “If we are to enjoy life, now is the time – not tomorrow or next year. The best preparation for a better life next year is a full, complete, harmonious, joyous life this year.”
As you reflect on your blessings and recharge your spirit, remember you are a blessing in the life of a child!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!
