-- TO MY FRIENDS --
First and foremost listening carefully
to what our children have to say
is key to the growth of both
our children and us their parents.
Let's treasure this time we have
to talk with our children
and make every effort
to deepen the bonds
between us during
the holiday break!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
" The resolve to continue learning for the sake of one's parents, one's friends, the happiness of humanity and world peace is the fundamental spirit of Soka education.
"When we lose sight of the importance of working for people's happiness, we end up learning for learning's sake and acquiring a kind of learning that uses people as a means to an end. To ensure that science contributes to people's well-being, we must constantly reaffirm this fundamental purpose. Doing so will open the way to wonderful inquiry and creativity."
