• BGVA Giving Tree

According to Character Strong, gratitude is the character trait of choosing to appreciate and notice things in the world, in others, and in one's own life. It involves feeling and expressing a deep sense of thankfulness, and taking time to genuinely express that thankfulness to others

Some examples of gratitude include:

• Being thankful for gifts, favors, compliments, and services received
• Being thankful for things like being able to see, hear, and walk
• Feeling a sense of having been given a gift by someone or an event

• Check your school email EVERY DAY!
• Work in your classes every day
• Contact your teachers for any questions or help
• Attend your Advising appointments!
• Wednesday mornings are "late start." Your classes will be available, but your teachers are in meetings until about 10:45 a.m.
