Dear teachers,
This year, counting our blessings feels more important than ever. Our lives look different from anything we could have imagined, but feeling grateful for silver linings helps us keep going. Here at Choices, we’re especially thankful for . . .
- YOU! Our community of creative and caring teachers. We’re floored by your ingenuity during this unprecedented back-to-school season and love connecting with you in our Choices Facebook group. Be sure to join if you haven’t already!
- Your students—and teens in general. We’re constantly inspired by stories of students making the world better. For example, the teens in our “Know Your Rights” cover story who fought injustice by exercising their constitutional right to free speech.
Now it’s your turn—what are you and your students grateful for this year? For ideas on easy ways to say thanks, check out our interactive gratitude bingo game on this month’s back page. We can’t wait to see what your students (and you!) come up with.
Warmly,
Jennie Yabroff, Executive Editor
