The school practiced gratitude and generosity in a variety of ways throughout the month of November, in the spirit of the Thanksgiving season. Many students and staff donated nonperishable food items to a local Fire Island family in need and discussed the connection between gratitude and happiness, after which each class brainstormed specific practices they could do each day. The school then gathered for its own Thanksgiving feast on Nov. 20 and shared what each person was thankful for.
