  1. Shonda,
    I really connect with the quote from Renatta Cooper about facing challenges. Each day brings a different challenge, and I like how she mentions these challenges include you, the staff, children and the families! If there's a challenge occurring at home, chances are, it's being brought into the classroom, and vice versa. Simply being aware that challenges do exist and will occur helps in preparation to conquer those challenges. And knowing that everyone faces them helps as well!
