Thankful & Grateful

During this time of being thankful & grateful, John Spencer shared a post that is a must read and watch.  A Thank You Letter to Teachers

I hope all educators are enjoying some much needed rest, relaxation, and time to regroup. We all give so much of ourselves for the betterment of our students, we often forget to take care of ourselves. Please find some time just for you and show yourself some TLC and know that we are all thankful for everything you do for our children. Happy Thanksgiving!
