“Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!”
― Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
Hello Brown School Families!
We have spent a lot of time over the last month talking about being thankful, filling buckets and holiday traditions. We hope you spent some time looking at our video on my last blog post and learned all about our philosophy of bucket filling at Brown School.
As the book says, bucket filling doesn't cost a thing! Smiling at someone, telling someone you love them and why, helping without being asked are all great examples of bucket filling. Ask your son or daughter ways they can fill a bucket...they will know exactly what you are talking about and will be able to tell you how they have filled a bucket at school or at home.
At our December All School Meetings, students are coming with buckets they have colored in and written on about ways they fill buckets. These will be hung all over the school so students can see so many ways they can fill buckets every day of the year. What better gift is there than to teach a child to give of him or herself?
It is such a privilege to be part of the Brown School Community and partnering with all of you in the development of your children. Truly, my bucket overflows each and every day. No matter what holiday you celebrate, we at Brown School wish your family much peace, love, health and happiness for the holidays and 2014.
