It is late Autumn and last week we experienced a hint of Winter.  There are some Pueblo feast days that are coming up; Thanksgiving, Christmas, the New Year…2020 are along the way.  We will all be spending a lot of time with families and friends. What an exciting season.  With these in your mind and hearts I want to pass along some quotes on family and friends.  Please enjoy.

Gratitude is the Attitude! It’s the time of year when we all reflect upon the people in our lives who have helped us and give thanks for them. The Math Circle is selling Thank You Cards for the next two weeks. For just $1.00, you can send a special card to someone who has made an impact on your life and tell them how much you appreciate them. I will be in the cafeteria during high school lunch or you can come to MST 6 and purchase some cards. You can hand deliver them, or we will deliver them for you. Thank you in advance for helping us with this fundraiser! Ms. Beth Cammarata
