While Giving Tuesday is here, we are taking a moment to focus on something priceless: gratitude! ๐Ÿ™

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.

โœจA beautiful reminder that kindness and thanks are always in season!โœจ
