Dear Grizzly Families:

November is a time to be thankful. Being thankful or gratitude is a great way to support our well being. I suggest you take a moment to think about 5 things you are grateful for. Here are mine:

1. Our Students!! Our students are resilient, kind, and committed. There are so many strengths all of our students bring to their learning, and it shows in how they approach learning tasks!
2. Our Families!! Our families share about their students needs and act as learning coaches. We could not do it without you! We appreciate your support and dedication!
3. The amazing staff at Gravelly Lake K-12 academy!! They learn from students and families about student needs, and adjust to create the best learning experience for our students!
4. Our District! Our district keeps students at the center of decision making, and believes that all students can learn what they need to know to succeed and contribute to the community.
5. My family! We have 2 proud CPSD Graduates one Lakes, one Clover Park. We have a 3rd graduate coming from Clover Park. They are always supportive to me and to our school/district!

I feel happier writing my list, I hope you write yours too!

This is a busy month!
