I had my 9th graders write Thank You notes to people in our school community today as an exercise in gratitude. In the last class of the day, a lovely girl gave me this. It made my day to read all of them and my colleagues were touched by the ones they received. Will repeat this lesson next year.

My 20 year old taught me how to make custom emoji stickers on my phone tonight.
I just sent him one based on this photo from when he was small.
He’s regretting his life choices. 🩷
