HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO OUR FRIENDS OF CROWN HEIGHTS FAMILY!

Dear FOCH Family,

As we prepare to embrace this festive season of togetherness, reflection and joy, I would like to extend my warmest and best wishes to you and your loved ones for a truly fulfilling and meaningful celebration.

In a world where the focus so often looks inward to personal gratification, this season offers us all a powerful reminder of the importance of giving, and making that special effort to positively impact the lives of others. This is especially meaningful for parents and caregivers to young children whose first lessons in empathy, kindness and compassion come from observing the adults around them. With that in mind, here are a few worthwhile gifts for the season that will cost us little but mean a lot to those around us:

To an enemy, offer the gift of forgiveness.
To an opponent, show tolerance.
To a friend, share your heartfelt gratitude.
To everyone, extend the spirit of charity.
To yourself, set aside some time for self-care
To every child, embody a good example.

The holidays provide us with bountiful opportunities for spreading joy, kindness, and generosity. May you and your family experience peace, fulfillment and happiness at this time and throughout the coming year. And may the spirit of love and gratitude you pass on to your children continue to inspire them long after the season has passed. On behalf of our Board of Directors, I wish you, your family and loved ones a bright, cheerful, and love-filled holiday season and a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year!
