PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

Amazing Raider families,

24 Days and counting….

“Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.” ~William Arthur Ward

As we come closer to the Thanksgiving week, I want us to focus on all that is good. Eckhart Tolle once said, “Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.” It is impossible to be grateful and be depressed at the same time. And being grateful for what we have is a choice. I want you to take time this week to chronicle all the good in your lives and verbally express your gratitude for them. Here is what I am thankful for:

🔹I am thankful for my SOH parents who continue to do their very best to support their children’s learning.

🔹I am thankful for my faith that keeps me grounded.

🔹I am thankful for my husband, two children and my extended family who serve as constant reminders of what is important.

🔹I am thankful for my circle of friends who have encouraged me along this journey called life.

🔹I am thankful for my SOH staff who continue to persevere and aim to give the best of themselves and many times, in sacrifice of their own families.

🔹I am thankful for my students who continue to demonstrate resilience beyond compare.

Have a great week,

Easter Finley, Principal
