As
we prepare to take a day or two off from our busy work lives to
celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends, the staff at
Too Small to Fail would like to take this opportunity to express gratitude for the work of our partners, colleagues and friends. We couldn’t do what we do without you.
Thanks
to the work of our many partners and supporters, we’ve been able to
reach millions of parents, caregivers, early childhood educators and
policy makers with information about how to help secure a brighter
future for all children in America. From New York City to Oakland, California,
we have established relationships with incredible organizations and
individuals who are committed to helping children succeed by improving
early vocabulary and math skills, strengthening social skills and
empowering parents with tools to help them improve their children’s
early learning.
We look forward to continuing this work in the
upcoming year, even as we count our many blessings and lessons from the
past year.
And a special thank you to all of you who work so hard
to make a positive difference in individual children’s lives—whether
your own children or those of others. Know that your work matters, and
the time you take to talk, read and sing to the babies and toddlers in
your life—even if just for a few minutes a day—means a lot to their
development and well-being.
So, whether you’re braving the roads
or skyways to be with loved ones, or are wrestling a turkey into your
oven or vegetables into a pot, we hope you get to enjoy some quality
time with the little ones in your life. And if you’re looking for a fun
activity to explore with your child during the next few days, here’s an easy one we found that highlights gratitude and encourages together time.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. We hope it’s a special one.
Happy
Thanksgiving to the Too Small to Fail team, to everyone at the Clinton Foundation, to Mme. Secretary and her
lovely family, and to all the readers here at Still4Hill. Have a
wonderful, safe Thanksgiving!
