Dear Parents and Families,
This month at Midland, we are considering all that we are grateful for. Students will have gratitude journals, classrooms will have opportunities to write about gratitude, and staff will be sharing what they are thankful for, as well. Did you know that studies show that the more we focus on gratitude, the more we can decrease anxiety? It’s true!
I am grateful for many things this season. First, I am thankful for our students, who bring so much joy to Midland. Their desire to learn, along with their hard work, give me reason to be grateful. I am also very thankful for our Midland staff! Our teachers, paras, and other staff make Midland a great place to work and learn! I'm also thankful for your partnership. I appreciate hearing from you about how we can best meet the needs of your children.
There is no need to wait until Thanksgiving Day to create your gratitude list! Let’s celebrate gratefulness all month long!
~Mrs. Dawson
