Dear Friend of Wellness:

During the month of November, we honor and embrace two special holidays – Veterans Day and Thanksgiving Day; it is important to hold tight the special meanings of honoring and gratitude as we navigate our daily journey. We can never take for granted our present freedom because of the personal commitment, sacrifice, determination, courage and love for country our Veterans have given all of us. In our District, we are fortunate to have recently celebrated them, as they have served our Country and now are serving in many different capacities as employees in this large educational system. Thank you Veterans!

With grateful and happy hearts, we approach Thanksgiving Day by reflecting on the many blessings we are offered and given daily. We are fortunate to positively impact the well-being of our children and staff, as that is the main reason we promote and deliver the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model through our actions every day in our District and our community.

Have a blessed Thanksgiving Holiday!

Let's keep pressing on and Never Give UP!

Continue being a beacon of LIGHT for all the children and each other...

let's grow STRONGER together!

~Be healthy and safe ~
