A few years ago, a colleague, mentor, and former Head of School at Brookline Heights Montessori in New York introduced me to the "Weekly Jam". JAM is the acronym for Just A Minute; reading each inspirational thought takes only a minute.

I hope you take a minute to read "Rise Above," I am sharing this email so you can sign up for the Weekly JAM.

Enjoy, and have a lovely weekend.

With gratitude,

Deba
