A3: to the small, daily conversations we have with students...to the way we treat each other (staff and students)...to the welcoming way we treat our families. Every interaction should be a thankful one! #wearewayne

A3- jaime wright here- sorry for being late! We model it by living in humility and gratitude that we are working with and learning with students and staff. It is a mindset. #wearewayne
A3: we can give thanks to students by complimenting students on good performance, improvement and noticing kind deeds. Also, it's good to occasionally reward good choices & behavior with rewards to show you're paying attention. #WeAreWayne
A3: I think we have to show what we are thankful for. And show appreciation when students do things that, maybe they didn’t have to do or that was unexpected of them. #WeAreWayne
A3: Be intentional and make gratitude part of your daily routine. Such as write "thank you" in your emails. Sometimes it's the simplest thing we do that make a difference #wearewayne
A2: I am thankful to work in an environment that promotes finding the best path to success for all students while offering the supports needed to help teachers be at their best. Teaching isn’t easy, but Wayne is the place to be! #WeAreWayne
Q4: Isn't really a question, it is a challenge - tell the educator you are most thankful for that they are that person for you and challenge yourself to purposefully show gratitude to others each and everyday at your school #wearewayne
Q3: We have to model it EVERYDAY! It can’t be a lesson we do once a year. Be an example for your students and make it a habit. It’s an attitude of gratitude....and it can be contagious! #wearewayne
