Today is World Gratitude Day!  The definition of gratitude is: the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness. Take a minute right now and think about the many amazing things you have in your lives.  It's important to appreciate all the little and big things you possess instead of dwelling those things you don't have!

 

Mrs. Mozena and Mrs. Schumacher are also working on getting you involved in WTV if you are interested!  We are working out the details and should have more info on how you can join the WTV soon so stay tuned for that in the coming weeks!

 

Help the LRC celebrate Banned Books week next week and check out a book that has been challenged!  We will have more information this week about how you can get your hands on a banned book from the LRC!

 

We are super lucky to have the Gay Straight Alliance in our school and members are planning to get started with meetings soon. We hope to see returning members, as well as some new faces this year too. GSA is a judgement free group for all students to feel comfortable being themselves. In this group we will have open discussions, participate in a variety of activities, and get involved in the school community. If interested, please talk with Mrs. Daughetee or email her at ddaughetee@dbqschools.org All are welcome!

Happiest of birthdays to Christopher Uzell and Deven Kamm!

 

And now for the thought of the day: It is not happy people who are thankful.  It is thankful people who are happy!
