First, to remember. 馃暞 Today, November 1, is the Day of the Dead or 鈥攁 chance to remember and celebrate the lives of loved ones who are no longer with us. I hope that you feel peace as you reflect upon your memories today.
Second, to learn. 馃摉 November 1 marks the beginning of 鈥攁n opportunity to recognize and celebrate the cultures, traditions, achievements, and contributions of our nation鈥檚 indigenous peoples. Throughout the month, we鈥檙e aiming to amplify voices from the 果冻传媒app ISD Native American community. If this is you, we invite you to reply to this email and share your photos, traditions, stories and ideas to support 果冻传媒app ISD鈥檚 continuous journey to learn more about the Native American cultures within Texas and our district.
Third, to give thanks. 馃А November 1 also marks the beginning of the month of thankfulness. 果冻传媒app ISD takes a full week off for fall break. Between now and then, we encourage you to find something to be thankful for each day. I鈥檒l go first. I am thankful to be a part of Team 果冻传媒app ISD and to work on initiatives that drive inclusion and connection within our community.
