THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Corazon Aquino astonished the world when she became president of the Philippines with little more than courage, tenacity, and good sense. She wanted to create peace in a country wracked by poverty and violence. She said: Mohandas Gandhi’s work gives me so much inspiration. Corazon Aquino joins Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as another great mind influenced by Ghandi, the hero from India. The heroes in our lives have a powerful influence over our thinking and our actions. They can propel us to great heights or lead us down dangerous paths. Who are your heroes? Are they influencing you in a positive way… or not?
LUNCH: Do you bring your lunch from home? If you do, you can add a fruit, veggie and milk for free!!! That’s right! You can jazz up your lunch in the cafeteria with a fruit, veggie and milk for free if you bring your lunch from home. Bon appetit!!
