It's time for another Mindful Monday!
Gratitude is when we pay attention to aspects of our lives that we value and appreciate: it can positively affect our mental and emotional states. Cultivating a regular practice of gratitude results in measurable changes in the brain related to well-being.
“In our daily lives, we often come across many things that are so beautiful and wondrous. But because we don’t pay attention we are not able to see them. It is such a pity.” (Thich Nhat Hanh)
Let our lives be full of both thanks and giving.

🍇 Sweet success in Creative Studies! Our students turned a generous donation of grapes into over 80 jars of homemade canned grape jam! 🫙 Thanks to grant funding, we were able to purchase the jars and canning supplies needed for this hands-on project. Each student even took a jar home to share with their family — a perfect way to enjoy the fruits of their hard work
