Sisters,
We are getting ready for Christmas, and it's my favorite time of the year. Our December 5, 2020, meeting will be our social engagement! As we prepare for the last gathering in 2020, remember to wear festive outfits on the Zoom call! Some members are wearing ugly Christmas sweaters, others might adorn their locks with reindeer horns or a Santa hat. The choices are as unique as each member. We have lots of activities planned, such as virtual bingo, Christmas trivia, and even learning how to create a photo album at Shutterfly.
The December social is an opportunity for chapter members "to unite women educators of the world in a genuine spiritual fellowship (Purpose #1) and "stimulate the personal and professional growth of women educators and to encourage their participation in appropriate programs of action" (Purpose #6). This gathering is also the perfect opportunity to invite that special teacher who has caught your attention.
As we count down the days until Christmas, may you have the warmest wishes for faith, hope, and peace this Christmas season.
Shelter in peace,
Dr. Denese Wolff-Hilliard, President

Thanks for Teachers Snack Bags
Each year, Lambda Sigma Chapter adopts a different elementary school, and this year we adopted Eula Belle Goodman Elementary School. The pandemic brought about so many changes in our school community and the faculty and staff of Goodman ES needed to know how much their community appreciated them.
On Friday, November 13, 2020, several members of Lambda Sigma delivered healthy snack bags to the faculty and staff as way to say thank you to those unsung heroes. Chapter members donated. Bags contained hand sanitizer, granola bars, pretzels, mixed nuts, mints, and crackers. The chapter also included face masks for the faculty to use as their discretion. The Thanks for Teachers Healthy Snack Bags were just a token of our appreciation for the hard work and commitment of these unsung heroes.
