Giving Thanks!

Giving thanks to:

Our devoted, hard-working and committed parents and staff for their work in the garden yesterday! It felt amazing to have a community come together to support our gardening program. Sorry for the scarce photos ( I missed some people!)- we were too busy digging in the soil! If you couldn’t make it out this time, no worries- there are always future opportunities to dig, weed and assist with gardening projects!

thank you- Evie’s mum & grandma; Valentina’s mum; Ocean’s mum; Dylan’s mum; Kyo’s dad; Avery’s mum and brother; Kazuki’s mum; Heidi

And, as we head into a new week, the week before Thanksgiving, it invites me to also give thanks to:

  • this land and all its offerings; the animals, the plants and all things wild
  • the people that took care of this land from the beginning until now
  • the children for bringing energy, joy and laughter to this place
  • the whole teaching team of TNNS
  • the elders in our program
  • my own family for showering me with love and affection and making me proud each day
  • and, to my dearest and most amazing partner, Kate.

With deep gratitude,

Emily
