World Thank You Day 2024!!!
Several of our students video-taped messages (please click on "Thank you Day Messages link below) to their families and friends on International Thank-You Day which is celebrated yearly on January 11. It is a day that serves as a reminder that we ought to express our gratitude to those who have made our lives better in some way. What better month to reflect on this than the beginning of the year?
