"Wear gratitude like a cloak and it will feed every corner of your life" ~Rumi
Dear Friends: On behalf of Journey School, it is with grateful hearts that we thank each parent, educator, and community partner for all that you do to make a positive difference in the lives of Journey's students and for making it possible for us to nurture their heads, hearts, and hands. As you gather with family and friends on this special Thanksgiving Day, may love and gratitude surround you and hold you throughout the holiday season and always. Happy Thanksgiving! Gavin Keller
