While Giving Tuesday is here, we are taking a moment to focus on something priceless: gratitude! 🙏

Check out this stunning "Quilting for Thanks" project completed by our K-6 ESL students at Occohannock with Mrs. Headley and Mrs. Diaz. They poured their hearts into creating this community quilt, showing off everything they are thankful for.

✨A beautiful reminder that kindness and thanks are always in season!✨
