12 Days of Giving (cereal food drive)

What: No sugar, hot or cold cereal

Starts: Monday, November 27

Ends: Tuesday, December 12 (12 school days later!)
Goal: 150 boxes!

Pursuit #1

What are some small, specific things that you are Grateful for? Maybe it is your favorite water cup, the way the cat sleeps on the chair, or when your grandma bakes banana bread. Spend some time as a family trying to think of at least 10 small things that you have Gratitude for and then choose to notice them this week with a smile.

Pursuit #2

Review Gratitude as a family! Remember that Gratitude is choosing to appreciate the people and things in our lives. Find a place in your home to display a glass jar. Cut up small slips of paper and place them next to the jar. Use the jar to collect special people, places, events, and memories that your family is thankful for. Find a time each week to add slips of Gratitude to the jar and assist students in writing or drawing gratitude as needed. Having a gloomy day or a challenging time as a family? Pull out the slips of Gratitude and read them aloud together as a reminder of your Grateful moments.

I just want to send a big thank you to all of you that contributed to making Turkey Bingo such a success! We coudn't have done it without you. From setting up tables and chairs, to bingo calling and crowd management, to food sales, popcorn making, and the wonderful leadership signs, it was such a team effort. Not to mention all the tasty treats and generous gift baskets!!! And clean up was so fast - amazing!

Discovery is such a lovely community and I grateful that my kids and I get to be a part of it.

If you have any pictures of the event (of course, I didn't remember to take any) we'd love it if you could share here or in the PTO Facebook page.
