Friday River Launch
November 20, 2020
A Thankful Heart, even in a pandemic
Thanksgiving is usually one of the busiest travel holidays of the year. "Over the river and through the woods, to grandmother's house, we go"...but probably not this year. Although our celebrations will be smaller, it's still a time to count our blessings and thank God for the good things we have in life: children, grandchildren, spouses, parents, siblings, nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles, cousins, friends, co-workers, health, houses, food, faith, Netflix, and the list goes on.
Whatever your plans are, I hope you have an intimate and safe Thanksgiving with those you love.
I don't take the privilege of getting up each day and helping students grow into educated, socially emotionally secure adults lightly. I'm thankful for the opportunity to love children and help them along the way and partner with you on this journey.
Happy Thanksgiving,
♥Audrey
