GROW
We foster a love of learning and encourage each student to develop their unique talents, skills, and potential through a supportive and challenging educational experience.

THRIVE

November — Gratitude
Top of Page

NOVEMBER IS THE MONTH OF GRATITUDE

This National Gratitude Month, we share our gratitude for all our educators, school staff, and families who are working tirelessly to support students this year. 

Showing gratitude is more than just saying “thank you.” Research has shown that practicing gratitude enhances our moods, decreases stress, and improves our health and well-being. Spend time this month sharing your gratitude by keeping a gratitude journal, writing thank you notes, or giving back to your community.

The Whole Child committee is encouraging our students and staff to celebrate this month in several ways.
