CGE Welcomes our newest regular contributor, Chelley Thelen. In her first article, Chelley shares her experience working with younger (elementary and middle school) students.
One of the best things you can do for your high school guard program is to start training your members at a young age.

Happy Holidays to All!! As I write this, I am in the midst of Holiday frenzy. Yes, it is getting harder and harder to find a parking spot in front of Target; family traditions are numerous; the last of the Christmas cards have been sent; and suddenly I crave sugary cookies decorated with a man in a red hat! The inspiration for this week’s article actually comes from the Christmas letters I have received this season. You know, the ones that eloquently chronicle the events of the past year for the sender. I have always admired these individuals that can place an entire year of their life onto one page of decorated paper! As for me, well, I am way too wordy (you think!?). The Christmas letter really is a bit of a cultural phenomenon – a sort of personal refection and public witness to our history. Considering the fact that most of us are running around in circles this time of the year, perhaps a little look into the rear view mirror of life is needed?
