Principal's Ponderings

Principal:   Mrs. Jeanne Young

As we enter into the holiday season I want for the students at Brazos Elementary to reflect on being thankful for what they have and to think more about giving than receiving.  It is a big goal that is worth striving for!  I ran across a poem in Chicken Soup for the Kid’s Soul that I would like to share:

Eclectic Wisdom

Life is given as a gift,

So wonderful and new.

We need to live it day to day,

Being careful as we do.

For life can give us many years,

Or only months or days.

Each moment must be savored,

And used in special ways.

Stop and take a moment,

To help the poorer man.

Or teach a child something,

Lend a helping hand.

Small things take but minutes,

And one thing is plain to see:

Great rewards return to you.

Give the best of life:  it’s free.

We have precious students at Brazos Elementary.  Take time to be thankful for them and teach them to share with others.  This is a busy time of year.  Remember…the greatest gift a parent can give their child is their time.  Have a safe and joyous holiday season.
