Be the Walrus on Wednesday

When Penguin has PROBLEMS, Walrus shares, "I sense that today has been difficult .  .  . Yes, some things are challenging out here. Yes, we all have difficult moments .  .  ."  What are your healthy strategies for working through the knots you get tangled up in?  Mrs. Broam loves to READ A BOOK.  Thanks for sharing a good one, Valerie Byrd Fort!

Grandma's Fun

My Grandma Rawls made this holiday hat and vest to wear when she volunteered at Lexington Extended Care!  She also dressed up when she volunteered at elementary schools, cleaning library books.  Today I remember and honor my Grandma's generous spirit and the colorful ways she went about her work in the world!

Veterans Day TOMORROW

If you don't have a plan for celebrating Veterans tomorrow, 11/11, join us at PHES on the middle school track at 9:00.  Children will share about the importance of honoring those who serve and have served.

Thank you, Veterans.
