*Parents: If you choose to be a part of the morning, there is a special moment I want to prepare you for. We will laugh together and enjoy breakfast together, but most importantly there will be a time to connect with your student. To conclude our time, you (the parents) will get a moment to bless your child. The blessing is an opportunity to express your love and hopes for your son or daughter. It can be spoken, it can be written, you can read what you wrote, you can give a symbolic gift, etc. This special moment will be between you and your child, at your table, so feel free to use whatever form of encouragement is most valuable to your student. Make the most of the moment!
