BEE Informed Daily Digest

Dear P.S. 101Q Families,

During the month of November, we are all reminded of the importance of being thankful. Recently, I read an article from Harvard Health Publishing that shared the importance of an attitude of gratitude. It increases your quality of sleep, lowers stress and improves your overall quality of life. I am sure we can all benefit from an attitude of gratitude.

Quite a few years ago, our student council (PALS; Positive Action Leaders) changed the way we engaged in class celebrations at this time of the year. The students advocated for the community to engage in community service in lieu of Thanksgiving parties. The purpose behind this was to give all families and students an opportunity to show their gratitude by thinking about others. It will be exciting to witness the outcomes of this year’s community service drive.
