Miller and Craddock (virtual) Career Week...............

Since our volunteers couldn't come visit us at school this week, some of them volunteered to help me with a video so you could still hear about some jobs and careers.

Hope you enjoy it.........and maybe get some ideas about what problems you may want to solve when you get older!!

Happy Thoughts!

"Do not educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy. So when they grow up, they will know what has true value..." ~ author unknown
"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." - Dr. Seuss
"All children have gifts ~ they just open them at different times"
'Words can't break bones but they can break hearts.'
"Other than the gift of unconditional love, the greatest gift you can give a child is the understanding of her or his power to choose."
"It is one of the most beautiful compensations of life, that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Success is never final. Failure is never fatal. It is COURAGE that counts!" - Winston Churchill
"Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere!" - Albert Enstein
"What I leave behind . . . I hope my achievements in life shall be these - that I will have fought for what was right and fair; that I will have risked for that which mattered; that I will have given help to those who were in need . . . that I will have left the earth a ...better place for what I've done and who I've been."
"Carve your name on your heart and not on marble."
"We must admit that we spend more of our time concentrating and fretting over the things that can't be changed than we do giving attention to the one thing that we can change: our choice of attitude."
"Work joyfully and peacefully, knowing that the right thoughts and right efforts will inevitably bring about right results!"
Just for today . . . consider your blessings; show a kindness; contribute to the better good; tell your friends you care; show your family love; ponder the beauty in nature; be grateful!
Attitude is the crayon that colors your world!
On the playground of life, you cannot swing alone!
If you're handed it, you can handle it!
Need knows no season!
Give all, Believe fully, Laugh deeply and Be Yourself!!
"Be kind . . . everyone you meet is dealing with something!"
"It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!"
"Each child is a story yet to be told!"
