This is one of my favorite dates of the year. Why? It is because it is the birthdate of Abraham Lincoln. President Lincoln has many books written about him. I have read several, but not nearly enough. I would not call him a hero of mine, but I do think he has influenced my thinking and the way I conduct my life. I hope for our students that they find someone who is important to them in their life. This can be a Craig teacher, and I have heard parents and students alike refer to teachers here as important to them. Each person needs someone that can me an advisor, a mentor, a meaningful adult. With mid-winter here, and more indoor activities than we probably desire, I am wondering if some of us can find a historical figure, a writer, and YouTube sensation who can influence us in positive ways. We all need that
to thrive.
