“We know from research that parents reading to young children has a huge impact on how quickly children learn words and learn to read,” Rotary President Tia Rae Stone said. “Taylor ISD is more than 60% Hispanic, and when we learned that the school needed more Spanishlanguage books so parents can read to their students, we knew we wanted to help.” The club purchased and donated more than 45 books with a value of more than $750 to the THJ library where the children are in pre-kinder, kindergarten and first grade. 11/19/2022 08:19 AM

Gratitude
Gratitude
“There is always, always, always something to be thankful for.” People who regularly practice gratitude by taking time to notice and reflect on the things they’re thankful for experience more positive emotions, feel more alive, sleep better, express more compassion and kindness, and even have stronger immune systems. Living your life with gratitude helps you notice the little things like a stranger holding the door for you, the perfect weather for an outdoor event or the friendly service you have received from your waiter. 11/19/2022 08:19 AM
