I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, with much needed rest, and a chance to reflect on the blessings God has given us. Paul reminds us in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 to “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” The Thanksgiving holiday gives us an intentional time to be thankful. Onn Friday October 7th,  we were able to celebrate Thanksgiving as a school, as the Grade 1 class led us in a full school assembly. As part of the assembly, we collected donations, and then distributed them to Operation Sharing, a local charity. This was a great way for our school community to show thankfulness in a practical way. Thank you for giving generously to this cause, and blessing our Woodstock community.
