You Guys ROCK!

First (and most importantly) I want to thank you for coming together as a class to help someone during this season. Words cannot express how proud I am of you for making a child's holiday a time when he will be "spoiled" with an abundance of gifts like most other children. You gave when others would not, and you truly embodied the meaning of community.

Now, on to business.

My blog meeting went very well, to say the least! They loved your "beast" and the way you elaborate in your comments. Another thing I "showcased" was the fact you ask for help with other subjects (WAWAY!), collaborate on the Angel Tree, and even post when you are out of town, like KT's post from NY. You have no idea the power of your ideas on this blog. Keep up the great work, and continue to set the standard for everyone else.

Thanks for being well behaved and patient while I am away from school on business. Your understanding and maturity makes it easier for me to accomplish more--for all of us.

See you in the a.m. Don't forget to post your current events response below!

The Grinch that "almost" stole Christmas

After thieves ran off with a trailer full of donated toys, the Christmas spirit is still alive and well in the state of Florida. Although all the toys were stolen, an exceeding amount of local residents called a Firefighters Union asking how they could help. The donations came in on Tuesday from people stating that they were furious that someone could steal toys from innocent cancer patients. One lady that was extremely upset donated $5,000 to the charity. Broward County's Sheriff's Department charity fund also gave in $5,000. After all of that, a man came and donated another $5,000. By the end of the day, the money donations were an unexpected amount of at least $60,000. Due to the abundance of toys and money donated, there was more than enough to go around. The party for cancer children had extra toys which were donated to other charities in that area. Despite the fact that there are some evil people in this world, the majority of people are good, generous, and kind.

1 - How do you think the cancer patients felt about cruel people stealing their gifts? =(

2 - How do you think they feel today after the generosity shown by their neighbors? =)
