Our middle school students spent time in the library today reflecting on gratitude — November’s Character Trait of the Month! They shared what they’re thankful for and explored how expressing appreciation builds stronger friendships and community.
It’s inspiring to see our students practicing kindness, reflection, and connection both in and out of the classroom. 💛
