News & Notes

Book of the Month

This month, our focus will be on the character trait of empathy. Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others.
The featured book for October is titled Lily and the Paper Man. In this story, Lily encounters a rough-looking man who sells papers while walking home. Initially, she feels scared of him, but as the temperature drops, her perspective begins to shift. She observes the holes in his boots and coat. Snuggled in her warm bed at night, she finds herself pondering how the Paper Man keeps warm. Inspired, Lily decides to create a thoughtful gift of warm clothing for him!
