Happy Thanksgiving!

During the past couple of weeks, students reflected on what they have to be thankful for. Friends and family led the list. They also discussed the importance of prioritizing things. They watched a video that illustrated this with rocks and sand called the Jar of Life. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_N_uvq41Pg
