Winter Solstice Celebration

In a few weeks  (Friday, December 19 from 3:30 - 5:00) we will come together to celebrate the Winter Solstice.  This is not only a celebration of the outer light of the sun, but the inner light of our connection with our own selves and the warmth of our connection with others.    Each year the entire school learns a song honoring both this outer and inner play of light,  and this year we are learning "Love and Happiness" by Kimmie Rhodes.  When I introduced the song with the fourth graders today, I handed them out the words and they almost immediately spotted a typo deep within the lyrics.  I was quite taken by how heart-felt they embraced the song from the very start of learning it.
