Gratitude is Growing

Did you know that the practice of gratitude is directly linked to increased happiness, resilience and motivation? Neuroscience reveals that levels of dopamine and other brain chemical transmitters impact information transmission and storage in the brain, confirming that being grateful makes us happier and more ready to learn.

This month in the CARE program we are practising gratitude, which we hope to make a habit throughout the year. Our "gratitude mural," with contributions by students, staff and parents, is growing daily as we all pause to reflect on the bounty in our lives.
