The character pillar for the month is caring. It is time to show others we care. A simple smile, donating food, funds or a warm coat are all ways to show you care. Volunteering your time is also a way to show you care. One of our morning quotes read-Everywhere you go leave of glitter trail of caring and kindness. Have you and your family started your trail?
