Gratitude

So much to be grateful for!

While I know that we are grateful throughout the whole year, it seems we are more aware of it as we approach Thanksgiving.  I want to extend my gratitude and thanks for the work that you do, with a warm smile and heart, every day at Houlton.  Your connections, instruction, communication, high expectations, schoolwide contributions, and hard work are appreciated, and are the foundation on which our school success is built.

Thank you for taking the time last week to have your students write thank you notes.  I think this is a essential life skill (and a lost art, according to my mother...).  It is one of those things that has such great benefits not only for the recipient, but also for the giver.  Thanks for fitting this in!

I created blank thank you cards for you to use to share what you used your classroom money/gift for. I'll leave a stack in the work room this week, and an envelope to collect them, so they can be delivered to the family.  They are very excited to see how their gift impaced your work!

With continued thanks -
Sue
