Dear Panther Families,
Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Happy Thanksgiving. May the holiday bring you good things in abundance that stay with you all year long.
Paula Jensen
