A TIME TO GIVE THANKS AND BE GRATEFUL


The Mt. Washington PTA would like to take this moment to reflect on all that we have and for all that we are able to provide to our children and school community.  Because of your help and support in our fundraising efforts we are able to maintain the standard and environment we want our school to have and are able to have a positive impact on our community.  We are grateful for the many many hours you spend volunteering your time, whether it's one event a year, one hour in the classroom, on a weekly basis or for some - on a daily basis, it is that kind of commitment that sets our school apart.  We are grateful for our incredible teaching and administrative staff who enrich our children's lives daily and whose dedication to quality education helps our children thrive.  We are grateful for our children who are the greatest gifts to us all and for whom we do all that we do.  

One parent's generosity described the spirit of the season the best.  It was last week during the canned food drive, when she brought in several cans and said - we don't have a lot, but we have enough to help those who have less.  It is that kind of generosity that makes our community a great place to live and Mt. Washington Elementary such a special place to be.  We give thanks for all that we have because of your support, and we wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving!
