Giving Thanks: Faculty and Students Share Gratitude This November
by Patrick Tyson
As the leaves begin to fall and the signs of summer seem to fade we know without a doubt that November is here and Christmas is near. The month of November is a time for reflection, and expressing gratitude. Our staff took a moment to ask students and teachers to share what they are most thankful for. Between classes, sports practices, and the upcoming Thanksgiving break, gratitude is definitely in the air, reminding everyone that thankfulness goes far beyond the holiday table.
Finding Gratitude in Everyday Moments
For many teachers, gratitude comes from seeing students grow, persevere, and connect.
“I’m thankful for my students’ curiosity and creativity,” said Ms. Wright, English teacher. “Every day they remind me of why I love teaching.”
Students Share What Matters Most
Students across grade levels also took time to express what they’re thankful for this November.
Freshman Sammie Walter said she’s grateful for new friendships formed during her first semester of high school.
“High school was intimidating at first, but I’ve met amazing people who make me laugh every day,” Jada shared.
Senior Marcus Rivera reflected on gratitude from a different angle.
“I’m thankful for second chances in classes, in life, and in figuring out who I want to be after graduation,” he said.
Acts of Thanks in Action
The spirit of giving is spreading beyond words. The Student Government Association (SGA) is hosting a Thanksgiving Basket Drive, inviting students to donate non-perishable food items for families in need.
Meanwhile, the “Cider and Chat” student town hall will give students and staff an informal space to connect, sip hot cider, and share what they appreciate most about their school community.
“It’s about coming together,” said SGA 9th Grade Vice President . “We all have something to be thankful for, and this is a way to celebrate that together.”
A Season to Reflect
As the month continues, hallways are filling with gratitude walls, thank-you notes, and small acts of kindness. Whether it’s a teacher offering extra help after class, or a student holding the door for a friend, the message is clear:
Gratitude builds community.
So as Thanksgiving approaches, the staff and students of Morrow High School are taking a collective pause to appreciate not just what they have, but the people who make their school feel like a second home.
