NOTE: From Mr. Joyce …… Usually I do NOT include “religious” & “cultural” observances on our Homework Calendar. This time I did. + It is the “Holiday” Season. What does that actually mean?… When you think about it … it can mean “many things” to “many people”. I’m going to follow the line of Mohandas K. Gandhi … and state that I think in this “Holiday Season” … there IS something in it for EVERYone … … something can warm ALL of our Hearts … sometimes we just have to open our minds to it
