Dear Parents,
Happy Thanksgiving! I would like to take a minute to say thank you on behalf of the faculty and myself for the ongoing support of our school families. We thank God for the many blessings He has bestowed on our school and parish. We have many wonderful and generous families who help us to build a nurturing and faith-filled school community. We are thankful to our School Advisory Committee, Home and School Association, SPiCE and our Athletic Association who work diligently to advise, generate funds and organize volunteers to provide many wonderful programs, activities and opportunities for our students and staff. As educators, we are most thankful for our students who show us each and every day how to be kind and generous, as we work together "discovering and sharing our strengths" to further our mission.
Enjoy the pictures in this holiday edition of our special Thanksgiving week at St. Brigid!

Creativity Hour
After learning about their top strengths, students in grades K-8 participated in "Creativity Hour." Each student was given time to reflect on their greatest strengths. After reflecting, they had an hour to use a variety of classroom supplies (such as cardboard, foil, cotton balls, tissue paper and more) to create an object that represented their strengths. Students had a great time using their creativity to visually represent their strengths, and enjoyed explaining how their object represented their strengths to others.
Thanksgiving Feast
Students K-8 enjoyed the annual Thanksgiving Feast where the 8th grade students took a leadership role and served their fellow students!

Have you contributed to Gifts of Gratitude?
Gifts of gratitude was established by the Home and School Association as a united effort to provide a generous monetary gift to every school and parish teacher and staff member at Christmas and the end of the year to thank them for all they do for our children.
Why participate?
This is a convenient way for families to make sure that each teacher, aide, and staff member who touches your child's life is recognized for all they do at St. Brigid. Instead of several small gifts from each student, each teacher and staff member will receive a monetary gift that they choose how to use--whether they want to splurge on themselves or help with their own family's expenses.
Will my family be recognized for participating?
Yes -- the teachers and staff will receive a list of families who participate in this
program. You may also let the teachers and staff know that you participated in the program by marking "G.O.G" inside your Christmas card.
How much do I give?
The suggested annual gift amount is $25 per child once a year, however any given amount is graciously accepted!
Questions or can't remember if you've given yet for this year?

The silent tragedy affecting today's children
Parenting article
Below is an excerpt from an article from YourOT.com:
There is a silent tragedy developing right now, in our homes, and it concerns our most precious jewels - our children. Through my work with hundreds of children and families as an occupational therapist, I have witnessed this tragedy unfolding right in front of my eyes. Our children are in a devastating emotional state! Talk to teachers and professionals who have been working in the field for the last 15 years. You will hear concerns similar to mine. Moreover, in the past 15 years, researchers have been releasing alarming statistics on a sharp and steady increase in kids' mental illness, which is now reaching epidemic proportions:
