Smith‑Green launches schoolwide 'thankfulness' program across grade levels
Summary
Staff described a new gratitude program introduced by Hirsch that reached elementary and secondary students; hallways display paper turkeys with 'feathers' listing things students and staff are thankful for.
Staff member (S3) described a new thankfulness program Hirsch introduced for both elementary and secondary levels. S3 said participation "has been overwhelming" and asked the board to note that staff and students have been taking time to post expressions of thanks on paper turkeys in building hallways.
S3 emphasized earlier concerns that the program might not engage older students, but reported strong participation across levels and highlighted its visible presence in the halls. The segment was informational; no formal action or funding request was recorded in the transcript.
