Thankful and Grateful: 

This is the time of year in which we express our gratitude to those that we are thankful for.  Longi and I wanted to express our deepest gratitude to YOU, the teachers and staff of Hawthorne Elementary.  We are grateful for your hard work and dedication, for your patience and grace and for your commitment to our community.  When we say "thank you" it is really our way of saying that we see you, we see how hard you work and we are here to support you.   Thank you!  We wish you all a safe and restful Thanksgiving Break... YOU HAVE EARNED IT!  Enjoy your family and friends, enjoy your time off, fill your days with lots of fun stuff or nothing at all, just don't forget to practice self-care and reflection.  

This week take a moment to say what you are grateful for, tell the people around you, express your gratitude.... Expressing gratitude is important to maintaining our mental health and has been shown to reduce feelings of anxiety and depression.  So what are you grateful for?
