Don’t let what you can’t do stop you from doing what you can do.
John Wooden, the first person ever enshrined as the Basketball Hall of Fame as both a player (1961) and as a coach (1973).

Misfortune can force you into doing things you should be doing anyway. Lessons come from adversity. Anything can happen to anyone… You can find a new lease on life – more meaning than you thought possible in simple things… Let go. Live in the moment. Go forward.
Christopher Reeve

Professor Owl's Newsletter
Hi Boys and Girls and Parents:
We are sorry there was not a newsletter in January; Professor Owl broke his wing, so he was unable to publish it. However, he was able to get some great ideas to improve your future newsletters.
We hope you enjoy this month’s newsletter. As usual, it is full of trivia; this month’s trivia is on how Valentines’ Day originated.
Join us in the crafts and cooking corners where we have some great projects for you to do and cookies to make.
In our Book and reading corner, you will find some books for every age group, up to date news on the latest releases. Visit our new story-time section. Let us know what kind of stories you would like to listen to. We still have Professor Owl’s reading challenge and would love to hear about the books you have been reading.
We have also been increasing our puzzles and coloring activities. All you need to do is print the activities off and work on them.
You will also meet our Variety Village Hero Ronald Tang, who is living his dream. He was able to obtain 5 personal best times and secure his spot on Team Canada. Rio is the first international competition on the road to the 2012 Paralympic Games in London, England, and it is Ronald’s goal to be there.
Do let us know what you think of our new look or subscribe to the newsletter
by writing to Professor Owl at the email address below.
