(The way it is)
Leaving with warm thoughts
To the Editor and Friends,
By now many of you know I
have been called to another
small church in San Leandro
(near Oakland), California. We
will be moving October 31.
Considering leaving Warm
Springs has not been easy. I
really feel that, after three-plus
years here, I have only just
begun. My wife, Jamie, and I
have grown to love you all
greatly. Warm Springs has
become home for us and you
our sisters and brothers,
family. We have laughed and
cried, grieved and celebrated
together. We have worshiped
the same God together.
You have shared your
cultures, your struggles and
dreams with us. You have
taught us so very much. You
have given us a great treasure,
yourselves.
What leads us away from all
this is a growing concern for
our families in California. My
father and grandmother and
both of Jamie’s grandmothers
have been and are in poor
health—something that was
not true when we moved here.
We are feeling it very important
to be closer to our families. (Let
me repeat here that I am not
leaving because of dissatisfac
tion. As I indicate above, I have
enjoyed my ministry and life
here.)
Though we are sacrificing
the peace and quiet of Warm
Springs for the noise and
congestion of the city, we will
be 15-30 minutes from our
parents and within
hours of
most of our family members,
including my older daughter.
Though we are trying to get
around to see people before we
go, there are so many of you we
fear some will be overlooked
for lack of time. For this reason
our Presbyterian congregation
will be having a potluck for us
after church on October 23.
Please come.
Please know you will always
have a special place in our
hearts. We shall always cherish
our time here with you. May
God bless you all.
Love,
Steve Frank and Family

It’s interesting that given the
choice, most of us feed negative
self-talk to ourselves rather
than positive. It may be that we
don’t realize how powerful an
impact our own thoughts have
on our lives. Why would
s o m e o n e w a n t to p u t
themselves down?

Note From The Editor
Spilyay Tymoo welcomes articles and letters to be published from
its readers. Short letters preferably 300 words or less and must
include the writers signature and address. Thank you letters and
poetry will be published at the editors discretion.
All letters are the opinion of the writer and do not reflect any
opinion of Spilyay Tymoo. Spilyay Tymoo reserves the right to
edit all copy OR refuse publication of any letter that contains
libelous material.
exhibit. This is a move in the
direction of reprogramming
negative expectations children
have of themselves.
Examples we hear include: “I
see that James is ready to
listen;” “I appreciate your
careful attention;” “It’s great to
see such an excellent group of
listeners,” “Ronald, f like how
you began on the assignment
immediately without disturb
ing others;” “Great job of
entering the room so quietly;”
or “I like the way you’re sitting
down at your desks ready to
listen without being told.”
This type of reinforcement
repeated often enough has a
major impact on what children
expect from themselves. When
p o s itiv e b e h a v io r s a re
emphasized students begin to
think in terms of, “I ’m a good
listener,” “I’m a responsible
person Who can be trusted;”
“I ’m a person who makes
friends easily;” “I’m a person
who enjoys helping others.” A
seed has been planted and the
child's expectations of himself
begins to change followed by
much more positive behaviors.
Warm Springs Elementary
school has many well-behaved,
intelligent and responsible
students. The reason for this is
that our student’s expectations
of them selves a re being
changed. We are proud of our
students and the progress they
are m aking in term s of
responsibility, behavior and
academics. They are tremen
dous.
