Kitkat, I'm going to jump on the bandwagon of thankfulness. I think it'll be good for me to make a conscious effort to be thankful.
So, I am thankful for the Chartrand family and their foundation. I am thankful that they are such charismatic and committed advocates for the success of our school and the other parts of the New Town Success Zone. Thanks to them, we have about 30 partners involved in this area and it will continue to grow.
At a "thank you" gathering tonight, Mr. Chartrand said a few words. His most profound were, "We strongly believe that one of the most effective ways to end the cycle of poverty is through education." Mr. Chartrand, you read my mind! Thank goodness someone with the means to help understands this.
I am also thankful for my job. It has made me grow as a teacher, person, and professional. Doesn't get more real than that.

I started a bandwagon? Sweet! I heard/read about people who keep a journal and write something they're thankful for every single day. Granted, there are probably repeats, but I can't imagine being consciously grateful so often. Once a week is a struggle sometimes. That says something about me, I'm sure.
