24. And Always Remember…
All I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be …I learned in Kindergarten.
Share everything. Play fair. Don’t hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess.
And it is still true no matter how old you are-when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.

25. I look forward to working with you and your child this year
