What our Families are Saying!
One of our #eSucceedUNITE families had this feedback:
“Since enrolling with eSucceed, Maddi has had more interest in school. She gets excited to do her
work and loves working on the computer. She loves the way the classes are set up and the fact that she has
flexibility as well. I definitely love that part too!! She has a love for learning now and just seems happier in
general with her classes. Thank you eSucceed!”

December Fun Facts
History: December was originally the tenth month of the year in the Roman calendar. It gets its name
from the Latin word “decem” which means tenth.
However, when the Romans added January and February to the calendar,
it became the twelfth month. They still kept the name, though.
December in the Northern Hemisphere is similar to June in the Southern Hemisphere.
The first day of Winter is on either December 21 or 22. This is the shortest day of the year
and the longest night. It is called the Winter or Southern solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.
