CHESS CLUB: We will be starting up the 2nd Session of CHESS Club right after the Holiday Break. It will start on that Wednesday January 3rd after school. Current members can just show up. New members need to get a permission form outside Mr. Spieker’s room in the hallway at room A108. If you have any questions, please see Mr. Spieker.
THOUGHT OF THE DAY: During the holidays, most of us expect to receive lots of gifts from friends and family. We will spend our heard-earned money… or allowances… buying gifts for others. But many of us, because of financial difficulties, aren’t expecting gifts and have no money to shop for others.
So during this special time of year, it’s important for those of us who have to share with those who have not. Let’s remember the words of Saint Francis of Assissi: Blessed is the man who helps his neighbor in trouble, just as he would wish to be helped in like circumstances.
Sounds like that Golden Rule again, doesn’t it? You may say, “But I’m just a kid. I don’t have any money to give.” Well, you have something to give – a pair of gloves, a hat, or a scarf, even a pair of jeans you’ve outgrown or a game you’ve grown tired of. These things can be donated to organizations which help the needy. During this holiday season, let’s all remember: It is more blessed to give than to receive.
