If you're a teacher or other educator, here is a cool gratitude activity to try with your classroom.

Or if you are a parent of kids in school, you can suggest this:

Gratitude Cards for the Community.

Write cards of gratitude and deliver them to people in the greater school community, e.g., janitor, food staff, school administration, teachers, school nurses, etc.

Expand this exercise to include the local community, such as police, fire station, bank, grocery store, hospital, electricians, etc.

Among other benefits, gratitude helps kids feel better about school and makes educators feel less emotionally exhausted.

Try it out!!
