Celebrating the Christmas season in a Christian school is a true blessing. It gives us the opportunity to teach the children to keep the gift of Jesus in their hearts. Although we will still have lots of academic work to do this month, I look forward to spending this time of year with my students as they anxiously await the birthday of our Savior.
