Winter Vacation!

The last week has been nuts. Every year before a break of some sort the kids really start to spin out of control. Christmas is the worst. It's that one time of year where everyone is supposed to be happy and healthy. In reality, many kids deal with some pretty big hurdles: family disturbances, no money for food or presents, lack of stability they get from teachers and other staff. The week, for learning is pretty much a wash. But at the same time we can't just coast through one giant week long party either.

From my own personal standpoint, two weeks off is a huge blessing. It's the opportunity to sleep, recharge my energy and enthusiasm, and the opportunity to be elsewhere. And that is where I am. Elsewhere for two whole weeks!
