  • Principal's Message
    Principal’s Message By Mrs Kath Boyd “Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness.” (Lucius Annaeus Seneca) Kindness makes people feel good and do good, and at Reddam ELS Lindfield, kindness is something that is fostered by families, practised by the children and actively promoted by the teachers. Kindness is the quality of being gentle, caring and helpful. Teachers in all four Stages present activities and opportunities designed to build the attributes of empathy, gratitude, perspective, honesty, self-compassion, self-acceptance, humility, collaboration, mindfulness, meditation, trust, affiliation and humour. Kindness can spring from the smallest of actions, such as giving someone a flower or drawing them a picture, and whatever form it takes, these thoughtful moments have sizable benefits for everyone. Being kind can increase feelings of happiness and self-esteem, and it’s been linked with better emotional self-regulation. ‘Kindness can have a positive effect on peer acceptance, and it’s also been described as an ‘antidote’ to bullying because it encourages children to learn how to get along and empathise with one another.’ (www.careforkids.com.au) In addition, one of the best things about kindness, is that it’s contagious! People feel good when they see others being kind, and this sense of ‘moral elevation’ makes people want to be kind themselves. “Once kindness is felt, its power is understood, and it is more likely to be reproduced.” (Kath Koschel) On a daily basis, the Reddam Teachers promote kindness amongst children at school by helping children understand and navigate the social world.

  • Holidays and Observances, 2020
    Holidays and Observances, 2020 For Use By New Jersey Libraries Made by Allison Massey and Jeff Cupo Table of Contents A Note on the Compilation…………………………………………………………………….2 Calendar, Chronological……………….…………………………………………………..…..6 Calendar, By Group…………………………………………………………………………...17 Ancestries……………………………………………………....……………………..17 Religion……………………………………………………………………………….19 Socio-economic……………………………………………………………………….21 Library……………………………………...…………………………………….…...22 Sources………………………………………………………………………………....……..24 1 A Note on the Compilation This listing of holidays and observances is intended to represent New Jersey’s diverse population, yet not have so much information that it’s unwieldy. It needed to be inclusive, yet practical. As such, determinations needed to be made on whose holidays and observances were put on the calendar, and whose were not. With regards to people’s ancestry, groups that made up 0.85% of the New Jersey population (approximately 75,000 people) and higher, according to Census data, were chosen. Ultimately, the cut-off needed to be made somewhere, and while a round 1.0% seemed a good fit at first, there were too many ancestries with slightly less than that. 0.85% was significantly higher than any of the next population percentages, and so it made a satisfactory threshold. There are 20 ancestries with populations above 75,000, and in total they make up 58.6% of the New Jersey population. In terms of New Jersey’s religious landscape, the population is 67% Christian, 18% Unaffiliated (“Nones”), and 12% Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, and Hindu. These six religious affiliations, which add up to 97% of the NJ population, were chosen for the calendar. 2% of the state is made up of other religions and faiths, but good data on those is lacking.

    Michigan Lions District 11-B1 Newsletter May 2016 11 -B1 DISTRICT CONVENTION 2016 The 2016 11-B1 District Convention is history! DG Peggy Allen and her Convention Committee did a great job of planning & execution, but they really outdid themselves when they selected the location. The Michindoh Conference Center gets my vote for the perfect DistCon destination, with its beautiful grounds and natural setting, not to mention being right on the lake. And don’t get me started on the food! WoW!! The Friday festivities consisted of a great dinner, complete with ice cream sundays, followed by table games for the adults and fun group activities for the Leos including gym-time and a hayride. Afterwards, the group reconvened for a fun-filled door-prize drawing. There were even some $100 gift cards (won by Lions Diane Schweda and Brian McClain) and a nice $104 50/50 pot won by Harriet Spriggs. We were then treated to a very interesting “Re-Member” presentation by Lion Roger Spriggs, ZC. “Re- Member” is the name of an organization dedicated to improving the quality of reservation life for the Oglala Lakota people of the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, one of the poorest communities in the country.

  • Know Them, Raise Them, Be Them Sampler Helen Keller,1880-1968
    Know Them, Raise Them, Be Them Sampler Helen Keller,1880-1968 CE Nineteen months after Helen Keller was born in Tuscumbia, Alabama on June 27, 1880, she lost her hearing and sight after a bout of scarlet fever. Five years later, Alexander Graham Bell himself referred her parents to a specialized teacher, Anne Sullivan, from the Perkins Institute for the Blind in Boston. With Anne’s tutelage, Helen learned to read and write with braille, and to communicate with hand signals. Aided by an interpreter she would go on to study at schools for the deaf. At the age of sixteen she entered the Cambridge School for Young Ladies in Massachusetts, eventually becoming the first deaf-blind person to attain a bachelor’s degree. Helen came to understand that people in poor economic circumstances were more likely to be blind than others, and soon connected the mistreatment of the blind to the oppression of workers, women, and other groups. This led to her embrace of socialism, feminism, pacifism, birth control, and women’s suffrage. From her own experience she developed a strong belief in the potential of every human being, famously stating that “we know that everyone has something positive to contribute to the world around them—if they are given the chance.” Helen became a celebrity at an early age for overcoming her disabilities. Stories of her life inspired a movie, Deliverance in 1919, as well as the Pulitzer Prize winning play and movie “The Miracle Worker”. She even spent several years performing on the vaudeville stage to educate the public and to support herself.

  • Helen Keller
    Helen Keller From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Helen keller) Helen Keller Helen Keller holding a magnolia, ca. 1920. Born Helen Adams Keller June 27, 1880 Tuscumbia, Alabama, U.S. Died June 1, 1968 (aged 87) Arcan Ridge Easton, Connecticut, U.S. Signature Helen Adams Keller (June 27, 1880 – June 1, 1968) was an American author, political activist, and lecturer. She was the first deafblind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree.[1][2] The story of how Keller's teacher, Anne Sullivan, broke through the isolation imposed by a near complete lack of language, allowing the girl to blossom as she learned to communicate, has become widely known through the dramatic depictions of the play and film The Miracle Worker. Her birthday on June 27 is commemorated as Helen Keller Day in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania and was authorized at the federal level by presidential proclamation by President Jimmy Carter in 1980, her 100th birthday. A prolific author, Keller was well-travelled and outspoken in her convictions. A member of the Socialist Party of America and the Industrial Workers of the World, she campaigned for women's suffrage, labor rights, socialism, and other radical left causes. She was inducted into the Alabama Women's Hall of Fame in 1971.[3] Contents [hide] 1 Early childhood and illness 2 Formal education 3 Companions 4 Political activities 5 Writings 6 Akita dog 7 Later life 8 Portrayals 9 Posthumous honors 10 See also 11 References 12 Further reading 13 External links Early childhood and illness Keller with Anne Sullivan vacationing atCape Cod in July 1888 Helen Adams Keller was born on June 27, 1880, in Tuscumbia, Alabama.
