Publisher’s view: 2015: Just be happy
As we head into 2015, we reflect on 2014 and make resolutions to hopefully carry us through the upcoming year. We promise to eat healthier, exercise more, be a better person and pray for world peace. But instead of searching for that magic cure, or constantly working toward fulfilling New Year's resolutions, just be happy—it's not that hard.
Letter to the editor: Parent supports ESL classes at Nordstrom
Regarding the article on Feb. 9 about ESL classes at Nordstrom Elementary during the school day, as a former Nordstrom parent who volunteered in my children’s classes for 14 years, I think it’s wonderful they are offering ESL classes to its parents.Providing critical programs for parents at our schools during the school day makes sense. Improved communication will help them to support their student. Children will see their parents’ desire to learn, strengthening the value of education as well as help them see that learning is a lifelong process.Lifting up the parents and children in our community only helps strengthen Morgan Hill.I feel proud living in a community that sees the value of being inclusive and supporting our diverse residents.An environment of fear only divides and weakens us.Jenny KirchhoffMorgan Hill
