It’s that time of year where everyone is starting to make plans for the family to eat together on Thanksgiving. But really, what’s important is the giving thanks part because November is known as “National Gratitude Month,” a month for being grateful, blessed, and thankful. So, I asked various students “What are you grateful for?” and “How do you give thanks?” Here are their responses!
