Good Morning! I hope that everyone is enjoying their first day of winter break. I have been catching up on the many things I haven’t gotten to recently. I want to take a minute to thank all the parents and students who gave me such thoughtful gifts and/or helped out or donated items the past few weeks. We were super busy but had a ton of fun leading to vacation.

It is my hope that all of you have time to spend together as a nuclear family and hopefully get to see family and friends that you don’t see often. Please take the time to play a game together, bundle up and go for a family walk or watch a family movie together. These experiences and are so important for our children to thrive, and in our busy lives, it is sometimes hard to find time to do these things. Today, is sunny and beautiful so send those kiddos out for awhile, they need the fresh air and the experience of playing outdoors. I, for one, am hoping for snow, but may have to wait until we go to northern Michigan skiing after Christmas. If you plan to be up there, I will be at Boyne mountain, contact me.

I wish everyone a happy and safe winter vacation and I look forward to seeing all of my wonderful, caring and thoughtful students in 2020!

Merry Christmas!

Mrs. Ranka
