Although any time is a perfect time to be grateful, the month of November especially calls many to be in an attitude of thanksgiving.   We have so much for which to be thankful – family, friends, health, etc. In regard to our educational community, I am especially thankful for each and every stakeholder in the educational process: students, parents/guardians, teachers, support staff, and community members.

As the Thanksgiving holiday is upon us, I would like to share a few specific things that I am thankful for at Imagine Andrews Public Charter School

 

·         I am thankful for scholars who fervently come to school to learn each and every day.
