Around Thanksgiving we express our gratitude,
Gratitude for someone’s kindness or attitude
People sometimes state their thankfulness for riches and rings,
But they often forget to appreciate the little things.
Don’t worry because these little things never go unnoticed
And I wanted to share that so I wrote this:

I’m thankful for our principal, assistant principal and dean
Although it’s sometimes hard to deal with teens
In the mornings, they greet students by the entrance and always say
“Hey, how are you?” or “Good morning, how do you do?” every day
Just this simple little greeting can flip someone’s frown
And make them walk with their head up rather than down.

There’s so many things that seem very small,
Things to be grateful for, I can’t list them all
Like how Ms. Lori puts herself in her students’ shoes
So she can turn around and say “I know what’s best for you”.
I’m thankful to have this school as my home,
Because I’m always familiar with the paths that I roam.
So of course I have a great school, that I won’t deny
And with that final thought, I wish you goodbye.

I am thankful to be thankful

I am thankful to be grateful

I am thankful for thanksgiving

It is when I feel most forgiving

 

I am thankful for the ones who supported

Me throughout every journey

Where I felt the most worthy

I am thankful for my family

Who helped me with my mentality

I am thankful for my friends

Who I send amends

It is the Bell Team

They are like a dream

Working hard and long

To make sure every student feels like they belong

 

Lastly, I am thankful for water and food

That keeps me renewed

I am thankful for my shelter and home

To have my family so I am never alone

I am thankful for this all

Enjoy Thanksgiving this fall.

Thanksgiving. The holiday of being thankful for the environment and people around us. During the holiday people forget what being thankful is really about. They think about the gifts they receive or what they want or get. But Thanksgiving is the one time to realize the greatness around their friends and family, it's supposed to bring people together. Not to tear apart people for electronics, toys, etc... Therefore I’m thankful for the warmth provided by my family, friends, and staff members that surround me the most.

Let’s gather to honor and fill your day with smiles and laughter that will be illuminating throughout this special event.
