November, 2019
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Attached below is a poem written by Meiji Stewart. I thought the poem might be of interest to you, as it so clearly indicates what “Children Need”.
On behalf of the faculty and staff of Lounsberry Hollow School, my best wishes to you and your families for a Happy Thanksgiving and enjoyable and rewarding month of November.
Sincerely,
Dennis J. Mudrick
Principal
Appreciation, For all they bring into our lives
Balance, Somewhere between too little and too much
Commitment, Its the little things we do each day that matter
Dreams, To touch the future
Empathy, Remember what it was like to be a child
Family and Friends, Everyone needs someone to love
Guidance, Actions speak louder than words
Healthy Habits, To nurture body, mind and spirit
Inspiration, To explore beauty, wonder and mystery
Joy, Sprinkle laughter and happiness daily
Kindness, To learn to care for others as they are cared for
Limits, Set boundaries and consequences together
Mentors, To give wings to their aspirations
Nature, To delight in rainbow butterflies and shooting stars
Opportunities, To discover what truly makes their hearts sing
Play, The ‘work’ of childhood
Quiet Time, To recharge their batteries
Responsibilities, To build self-esteem and self-confidence
Security, Feeling safe is essential for growth
Traditions, Keep the family tree alive and sprout new branches
Unconditional Love, For who they are, not for what they do
Values, Live yours and encourage them to find theirs
Words of encouragement, ‘You can do it, I believe in you’
xoxoxo’s, Hug and kiss them each and every day
You, Your presence more than your presents
Zzzz, A good night’s sleep
