I love this photo of Gavin at the school playground on a sunny, snowy day. While most adults this time of year are sick of winter, his smile conquers the cold, ice, snow, slush and freezing rain.  We can learn a lot from our kids whose bright smiles ground us in the joy of the present moment. This was a joyful day for him at school. Let us also try to find that same joy.  Maybe you'll have to roll around in the snow a bit to get it!

Thank you for supporting our boys and girls at Good Shepherd Catholic School. Please consider making a financial donation to support us during this New Year.
