Term 1 is winding up quickly and Easter is staring us in the face. Can I say, “Great job everyone!” Yes, I think I can.

It has been a privilege again being the quiet observer at the school, seeing how wonderfully all staff interact positively and purposefully with the students. It has been terrific to see the students respond with such a good manner. Their eagerness and energy at school is wonderful to observe.

As we head into the holidays, I hope that everyone can get in some rest and recreation. Easter is a reminder of new beginnings, life and freshening. It also is a hope for new things to come, like a new crop ripening, getting ready for the new harvest.

A way to grow your hope (Heart of hope muscle) is every day, try to think of three things that you are thankful for. Also think of one small thing that you can achieve the next day. Food for thought.

Have a WONDERFUL Easter, may your basket always be filled with hope, joy warmth and love.
