thankful for the break and also thankful to be able to return to school to
teach your students. We only have three weeks until Christmas vacation.

Gettysburg Address: But, In a larger sense, we can not dedicate we can not
consecrate we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who
struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or
detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but
it will never forget what we did here. It is for us the living, rather to be
dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus
far so nobly advanced.
