Thank You

A couple months ago, I wrote a grant for money to buy a classroom library (seeing as my classroom had approximately 50 books). And I got it! Yay! I received it from my principal and the Nebo Education Foundation. With the monies, I was able to purchase $600 of books. The students and I are very excited about our new books! To read more, go to the Nebo Education Foundation website. Anyway, I just wanted to share my good news. (So really I got the grant 2 months ago, but the district finally gave me the picture and wrote up the article.)

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
