Gratitude Cards:

WHAT:  Write a heartfelt thank-you card for someone special in your life. Share your feelings of gratitude and let them  know how much they mean to you.

HOW:  Thank you note templates will be provided to students.  They may write up to 4 notes.  If they are for students in other classes or for adults on campus, please have students cut and turn them into the box in the office for distribution.  Please review your students' messages for appropriateness before submitting them.


We are grateful for your support and participation in our Gratitude Month Activities!  We encourage you to connect with your Buddy Classes to make these activities even more meaningful!
