New thankfulness program and return of veterans ceremony draw positive feedback
Summary
Staff described a schoolwide thankfulness program introduced by Hirsch that spread across grade levels, and leaders said the veterans ceremony, led by Mister Foley, returned with strong participation and positive community comments.
Staff member described a new gratitude initiative introduced by Hirsch: a thankfulness program that places turkey displays in school hallways with 'feathers' where students and staff write messages of appreciation. The staff member said participation exceeded expectations across all grade levels and that both students and adults are taking time to recognize one another.
Moderator added that the veterans ceremony returned this year and credited Mister Foley with leading the event; the moderator said feedback was strong and the district hopes to expand the ceremony next year. Both items were presented as community-building efforts rather than formal policy actions.
