Thankful Thursday feels a bit different today. Not due to of a lack of things to be thankful for. On the contrary, our hardest moments can often be a spotlight on the greatest things to be thankful for, which is the people in our school and community. Our school has been through so much in a short period of time. However, I believe in the power of a school with one heartbeat and the power of a community that rallies around one another in the difficult moments. I am so thankful and grateful for our crisis team for responding and leading through the multiple tragedies of late, our students for their bravery and resilience in supporting each other through their grief, and our staff for wrapping their comforting arms around the students and their colleagues through both words and actions. But today, I'd be remiss if I didn't dedicate this Thankful Thursday to those who have responded when the stakes were highest, our Volga Fire Department and the Brookings County Sheriff's Department. Thank you for being there when we needed you the most!
