What does Thanksgiving mean to our children? Thanksgiving is such a special time. It is a holiday where traditions are kept and memories are made. It is time to reflect and to give thanks to others for inspiring us and for those who motivate us.
Have you ever wondered what children are most grateful for? I am always fascinated by the thoughts of children. Therefore, I reached out to a few of our local students and asked them what they are most thankful for this year…. you will be amazed by their responses- I know I was!
