Welcome and Call to Order
Our fabulous president, Cynthia B, called the meeting to order.
Today's twist: the program would precede the business meeting.
Our program: Tai Chi with Peter Hodes of Tai Chi River
Many thanks to Carol P--a Tai Chi practicioner--who studies under Peter and made the arrangements. As the photos demonstrate, Alpha Zeta thoroughly enjoyed this introduction to Tai Chi!
Go to the Tai Chi River website for information, or ask Carol P! https://taichiriver.com/ |
Thought for the Day: Carol S
Carol talked about what a teacher knows about kids' lives, just from spending time with them (e.g., if they're being taught to be polite or if they have enough to eat at home.). She also talked about what some parents really want to know about their kids, such as if they show compassion to other students. She stressed the importance of showing students that we love them, and teaching them that their freedom came through others' sacrifices. Welcome back, Carol! We've missed your beautiful soul and face!
