What Does Happy Look Like at 80?

Independent, Grounded, and Grateful

Ms. Ritter, 80, spent her career teaching mathematics - a discipline that rewards precision, patience, and the willingness to work through a problem from every angle. It’s not hard to see how those same qualities shaped her philosophy on happiness. She has thought deeply about it, perhaps more than most. “I decided to be happy independent of external influences,“ she said, “because people go through life changes, and I was not responsible for other people‘s happiness.“
“I would encourage young people to be contemplative,“ she added. “Become very aware of your surroundings. How you react to people. Understanding people is paramount.“

🎬🍿 Lunch & a Movie: The Diary of Anne Frank

We gathered for Lunch & a Movie to revisit the powerful story of Anne Frank and her unforgettable diary.

Anne was just 13 years old when she received her diary in 1942. While hiding with her family and four other people in Amsterdam during the N**i persecution of Jewish people in World War II, she documented her thoughts, fears, hopes, and dreams. After the war, her father, Otto Frank, helped bring her words to the world, and her diary was first published in 1947. Today, it remains an important firsthand account of this dark chapter in history.

What made today’s experience especially meaningful was reflecting on what we remembered about Anne Frank when we were younger compared with what we understand today. With a lifetime of experiences and a deeper perspective on history, we can appreciate the significance of her words in ways that may not have been possible years ago.

❤️ Some stories stay with us throughout our lives. As we grow older, we often discover new meaning in the lessons they teach us about humanity, courage, hope, and the importance of remembering history.

🎨 Artist Study: Jacob Lawrence

We explored the work of celebrated American artist Jacob Lawrence and his powerful Migration Series, a collection of 60 paintings depicting the movement of African Americans from the South to the Northern United States beginning in the 1910s.

✨ What makes this series especially remarkable? Lawrence created all 60 paintings between 1940 and 1941, when he was just 23 years old! He used casein tempera paint on hardwood panels and drew inspiration from comic books to create his distinctive, storytelling style. Each painting also includes a brief caption explaining an aspect of this important chapter in American history.

Through art, we discovered how creativity can preserve history, tell powerful stories, and help us see the world through a different perspective
