The XCP Mothers' Guild Gazette 
A Mothers' Guild Newsletter
March 15, 2020



As the past week's events unfold around the world and our country, there is surely unrest and uneasiness.  However, as we have seen in the past, our peers, our community, our country will rebound. It will take some effort and we are all willing to jump in.  I know we have all seen the word optimism.  This week has made me think about it's meaning even more. 

op·ti·mis·tic
/ˌäptəˈmistik/
adjective
  1. hopeful and confident about the future.
Wonder what the world would look like if we were all optimistic?

With optimism,   
Emily Calihan
Mothers' Guild President 2019-2020
