Merry Christmas, Bobcats!



I can hardly believe it’s already December. As November fades away, I always find myself growing nostalgic—thinking back to the days I spent at my grandparents’ house as a child. I remember the bright orange sweater my grandma bought me when I was eleven (she loved that color) and the beautiful raspberry-colored Afghan she crocheted for me the next year. I can still see the Christmas tree glowing in the corner of her living room and hear my cousins laughing as we drew straws to see who would open the first gift. Back then, it felt like Christmas would never arrive. Now, as an adult, it seems to come faster every year—a reminder to slow down, reflect, and cherish the precious moments we share with the people we love most.


One of my favorite Christmas movies is The Polar Express. I love the line “The bell still rings for all who truly believe" by Chris Van Allsburg.


I hope your holiday is filled with joy, love, countless blessings, and a sprinkle of believing.

Holiday fun for the family

Take advantage of the winter break to participate in family activities that will not only engage your child but help sharpen their skills along the way.


Bake Cookies: Have fun making a tasty treat while your children practice measuring the ingredients.


Letters to Santa: Your child can practice sounding out words while writing their Christmas wish list.

Game Night: Your child has the opportunity to build reading and math skills while playing board games.


Puzzle Time: Improve spatial awareness, fine motor skills, shape recognition and more as you communicate with each other to build your scene.


Movie Night: Build a family tradition of watching your favorite movie each year.


Make Ornaments: Get creative and design a new ornament. It will be fun to look back each year when you decorate your tree.


Read a Book: Spend time listening to your child read or let them snuggle up while you read to them.


“Children are not a distraction from more important work.

They are the most important work!” — C.S. Lewis
