At this time of year, it is a time to reflect, replenish and reconnect with family and friends while looking ahead.
As we celebrate this Holiday Season and the close of 2011, let us do so in the spirit of gratitude to the many volunteers, families, teachers, staff and administrators for the difference they make in the lives of children.
While there remains much work to do, we are making substantial progress on many fronts. It is up to each of us to work together on behalf of today's children and those for generations to come.
Thank you for your many contributions to our effort -- and so to all -- Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
