🍂👏 Give Thanks Times 2 This Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving break brings a lot of things to us, and family, rest, food, football, and connection are just a few of the things that come to mind. But will giving thanks be a big part of your break? If you're like me, you just want to get a break from all the chaos, but let me share a secret with you. When we prioritize giving thanks, we find ourselves even more rested and recharged when the break ends.

What's the BEST Way to Give Thanks?

In this message, I share 2 things that you have to be focused on when giving thanks.

Be Thankful IN ALL Circumstances

So how do we give thanks in all circumstances?

• Choose thankfulness in 2 categories: Good and Bad.

• Then add the element of time to it: Past, Present, Future.

Below is an activity that you can use with your staff, PLC, students, or your family over break to teach them how to give thanks in all things.

Happy Thanksgiving

I truly am thankful for my family, and I am thankful for all that you do to help grow our students, our schools, and our communities. Have a wonderful break, and don't forget to give thanks.
