Continue to be thankful...

For some people, the next four weeks are some of the best weeks they have each year.  They are filled with laughter, joy, fun, etc.  These coming weeks are also weeks filled with stress, deadlines, COLD WEATHER...all the things that can bring stress.

What can you do to combat this? You can say THANK YOU! You can genuinely thank people for what they do for you and for the people you care about.  And you can also have conversations with others if you feel you need feedback/praise from them for what you are doing well.  This quick TED Talk focuses on how important these Thank Yous can be.  I hope everyone read their Thank You card.  They were all written by me and I meant each and every word.  Each of you bring an unique and wonderful gift to our school and we're a better place because of what each of you brings.

Hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving Break and I look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!                        - Angela
