Message from Mr. Holtzhouse (Head of School)
November, traditionally, is the month that many celebrate Thanksgiving. Whether you have a national tradition that singles this day out or not, it is a spirit that is worth cultivating in our lives. We have SO MUCH for which to be thankful. Even when we have burdens on our heart, the Apostle Paul tells us to bring them before the Lord with thanksgiving(Phil. 4:6-7).
Remember the story of the ten lepers in Luke 17? After experiencing a miracle of healing, one of the ten returned and thanked the Lord for his healing. Jesus asked, “Didn’t I heal ten men? Where are the other nine?” Let’s be the ONE, not the nine.
Let’s practice this with one another as well. There are so many ways to say “thanks.” You can say it, write it, tell someone else about someone for whom you’re thankful. You can call them, text them, send them an email, or bake them something they love (chocolate, for example J). I’m thankful for all our wonderful and supportive parents. May you have a blessed Thanksgiving!
Stay tuned for information on an upcoming “Parent Chat” with the Head of School in the month of November.
