Welcome to the IHM EdNotes! As we enter this season of gratitude and begin to anticipate the joyful celebration of Christmas, please know that you remain in our prayers. We wish you happy, fulfilling, and inspiring days with your students, fellow teachers, and staff. We hope you find the articles in this edition informative, helpful, and encouraging. May God bless these "in-between" days from Thanksgiving to Christmas, filling them with grace, joy, and opportunities for faith and growth. Most of all, cherish the gift of the children in your care and the companionship of one another.

Blessings,

The IHM Catholic EdNotes Team
