Our word for the year at GPS is GRATITUDE. The definition of gratitude is “the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.” Gratitude helps people feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships. Expressing gratitude reminds us that we are all connected. GPS is thankful for our teachers, staff, students, parents, and community. We greatly value and appreciate your trust placed in us!
