We are currently in the midst of many giving themes this busy busy month. There is no greater way to indulge than to give. I encourage you to be a GIVING RAM and support the many ways Reavis is giving to our community. The Ambassadors endeavor includes food and toy donations to the Burbank Food Pantry-this has been a great way for students and faculty to give back. In addition, you can also donate to Inspire and help create their “Inspire closet” that will help by giving to the community and local shelters. As a Responsible RAM, I challenge you to not only participate in these wonderful GIVING opportunities, but take a different approach to giving that doesn't cost anything. To your enemy, give forgiveness. To an opponent, give tolerance. To a friend, give your heart. To all, give charity. To every child, give a great example. And to yourself, give respect. Winston Churchhill once said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we GIVE.” Improve your life and the lives of others by giving this month and every month in the new year. We wish all of our families a wonderful holiday season! #RamsAreResponsible
