November: Gratitude
This month we are focusing on Gratitude for this months moral focus. We have talked to the students about things that they are grateful for and how to appreciate what we have in our lives, not to take items or people for granite. Students are making a gratitude jar over the course of the month to list things they appreciate in life and are happy for.
