I am Thankful for each of You
As thanksgiving draws near, we tend to think of the many things that we are thankful for. At Thanksgiving, and each day, I am truly grateful for each one of you. You make working at Penn such a great place to be for me, each child and the members of Team Penn!
Best Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is here, so our minds have turned
To what time has taught us, to what we've learned:
We often focus all our thought
On shiny things we've shopped and bought.
We take our pleasure in material things,
Forgetting the pleasure that friendship brings.
If a lot of our stuff just vanished today,
We'd see the foundation of each happy day
Is special relationships, constant and true,
And that's when my thoughts go directly to you.
I wish you a Thanksgiving you'll never forget,
Full of love and joy—your best one yet!

Thanksgiving Luncheon Monday, November 21st
As a staff, we celebrate Thanksgiving together by bringing dishes for a Thanksgiving potluck luncheon at the school. Everyone is asked to participate by bringing a dish. The luncheon will take place during lunch and will be located in the room next to Mrs. Alikor's classroom.
We still need meats, starches and vegetables. We already have desserts, drinks, rolls, and paper products.
We look forward to enjoying this meal together with colleagues!
