As I’m writing this, the Foundation students celebrated their 100 days of learning here at PPN. I cannot believe they have been here for 100 days already. Honestly, it’s an interesting feeling. Because it’s so familiar to have them around and they all fit right into PPN it almost feels like they have been here forever. However, I can still remember their first half day like it was yesterday. It’s such an important milestone to celebrate and it means everything to our little ones. The Foundation teachers have had a blast with them today, creating all the amazing crafts and playing fun games in the classroom.

Each and every student looks so connected, grounded and confident. A stark contrast to their first day, wide-eyed, timid and overly cautious.

It appears to be a season of celebration. From our foundation students to the athletes doing our country proud over in Paris. There is an uplifting song of celebration in the air. And rightfully so. You don’t have to look very far to find something worth celebrating. From the smallest of blessings to the lifechanging miracles, God has given every single one of us a reason to smile if we choose to find it.

I pray that you find your reason to celebrate today in this season of celebrations. I praise God for the hand He has had in crafting our community here at PPN.
