NOTE FROM MRS. LOGAN
Thursday was a big day at Holling Heights, it was the annual Thanksgiving Feast was served for lunch! I had the opportunity to spend my Thursday lunch eating with a group of fifth graders. One particular student sat next to me and initially looked at his lunch tray and said, "This looks amazing." He then dug into his first bite with a smile, of course he went straight for the pumpkin pie. When he got to the turkey, potatoes and gravy he said out loud, "This is so fabulous." Later in his meal he nudged his friend next to him and said, "Isn't this lunch great?" At this point I turned to the student and told him that I was so happy he was enjoying the lunch and loved all the positive feedback he was sharing. I then asked him if he would take the time to tell the kitchen staff of Holling all the wonderful things he had to say about the meal. We talked about how hard they worked that day, and everyday, to make the food and how much him showing this authentic gratitude would mean to them. He loved that idea and assured me he would.
I was reminded in this moment of the neglect I often give to showing my own gratitude. How many times that day, that week, or in my life have I experienced a deep level of gratitude and failed to go to the source to give a simple thank you? We all know from being on the receiving end the power of a thank you. It fuels both the giver and the receiver. This holiday season in a time where we celebrate THANKS GIVING I challenge myself to be a THANKS GIVER!
