Virtue of the Month: Gratitude
"Gratitude turns what we have into enough." – Anonymous
Throughout the month of November, our school community will focus on the virtue of Gratitude. Gratitude helps us recognize and appreciate the kindness, opportunities, and blessings in our lives. We encourage families to talk with their children about ways they can show thankfulness at home, at school, and in their community.
Thank you for your continued support and commitment to our school community. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of our scholars!
Remember, scholars, complete your homework, read every day, and always put your best foot forward!
Together, we are resetting the compass for success at PS 233!
With appreciation,
Debra Cunningham, Principal
