The 4th and 5th graders at Lexington Elementary have taken the 10 Day Gratitude Challenge. The students are writing in a Gratitude Journal and wearing wrist bands so they can reflect on what they have. We all learned that being thankful brings happiness. And, when we are happy, we show more kindness.

One student shared that his gratitude wrist band actually brought him good luck because he had such a great day when he wore it. When he was asked why he thought it brought him good luck, he looked a little puzzled. One of the counselors explained that he was having a great day because he was looking for it! He had a huge smile on his face as he walked to class.

Check out the Lexington Counseling Center Website and join us in the challenge!
