Dear Families,
Practicing gratitude can take some work, especially at times when we are overloaded with stress in times of adversity. But even when we don’t exactly feel grateful, we can still think about what we have and be grateful for it.
One way to do this is to take time at least once a week to focus our attention on some of the good things we feel grateful for. These can range from big things, such as being healthy, to smaller, more momentary experiences, such as the cool fort the family built in the living room, a Zoom reunion, or a walk outside. We can also be grateful for the heroes of our country and community. We honor the continued contributions to these heroes. In the middle and high school section of the newsletter you will find resources related to these heroes.
