Holidays

Dear Families,

Merriam Webster defines tradition as, "The handing down of information, beliefs and customs by word of mouth or example from generation to generation without written instructions." The holiday season is ripe with traditions that vary from family to family and from culture to culture.

Each year Mt. Bethel celebrates our diversity through our own tradition that we call "Cultural Celebrations Around the World". This year the celebration will be held from December 10th through December 14th. If you have a moment, please stop by and view this wonderful display. You will learn, as our students do, about the various celebrations that take place among our Mt. Bethel family. Love, family and children are the common threads running throughout these customs. How fortunate we are to be able to see how each culture loves and celebrates their families.

As our Mt. Bethel family travels to be with loved ones and friends I want to wish you a joyous holiday season. Remember to hug your children, read to your children, laugh with your children and enjoy your children. These moments pass so quickly. Honor the traditions you were raised with and start a tradition of your own- one that will bring these precious moments back to you as you pass it down from generation to generation.

Please travel safely and know that when your children return to Mt. Bethel we will be waiting with open arms to greet them and continue our tradition of educating the leaders of tomorrow.

For kids,

Robin
