Happy Thanksgiving...

Ok, so I changed the title of the blog from World History to...well just Mr. Valima's blog.

I figure why just have a World History blog. Basically I did this because I obviously need more ways to communicate with people, especially with YIG Members. We have had meetings, we've given out calendars with dates, put things in the school announcements and still not everybody showed up to make wreaths on Saturday. Then on Monday we had bill writing after school and 2 people showed up (maybe more are coming today). Perhaps you are new and still unsure of YIG...this is a huge commitment!!! So, that's that...

On another note. I hope that everybody has a wonderful Thanksgiving. At some point during the days off of school, take a few minutes and reflect on what you are thankful for - remember all of the little things that you take for granted on a daily basis. Also, think of things that you can do for others. Whether it is volunteering somewhere or just a simple smile; you can make a difference!

Remember the only thing that you have complete control over is your ATTITUDE!

Happy Thanksgiving,

Mr. Valima

My family is going to go to the KC hall for thanksgiving to chill with about 100 close and distant relatives and serve food to people who can't afford thanksgiving dinner (usually about 180-220 people a year). It's my birthday gift.

...yeah, I know I'm weird because I like to help people... don't laugh.
