This week’s blog is written by Kari Rogerson. Kari and her husband Ryan have 3 young children, 2 of whom attend HBRES. When not volunteering, driving kids around, or attending school events, the Rogersons host weddings at their farm, White Stone Events. Enjoy reading about Kari’s reflections on gratitude as we anticipate Thanksgiving next week.

As a Mother of two students at Hinckley-Big Rock Elementary School, I find myself reflecting on the approaching holiday season with a sense of gratitude. In a world full of uncertainty, our school
community has been a constant source of support and inspiration. The dedicated teachers at HBR go above and beyond creating an amazing environment of growth and learning for our students.The heart of any school is its teachers, and ours are truly exceptional. From sparking curiosity in the classroom to providing individualized attention, they play a pivotal role in shaping our children's futures. I am beyond thankful for their unwavering commitment to education and the positive impact they have on our kids everyday.

Beyond the classroom, the support staff at HBR deserves a special mention. Their dedication does not go unnoticed. From ensuring the school runs smoothly to providing assistance to both students and teachers, they form an integral part of our schools success.The office staff at Hinckley-Big Rock Elementary School is the friendly face that greets us each and every day, making the school experience warm and welcoming to all of our students. Their efficiency and kindness create a positive atmosphere that sets the tone for the entire school. It's these small gestures that make a huge impact on the daily lives of our children.

Gratitude extends not only to the staff but also to the students here at HBR. The friendships formed and the shared love for learning create an environment where every child feels welcomed, valued and supported. As the Holiday Season approaches, I encourage fellow parents, students and members of our school community to take a moment to express gratitude to the incredible individuals who make Hinckley Big-Rock Elementary School the amazing place that it is. Through a heartfelt note, a small gesture of appreciation or a simple thank you, let's come together and acknowledge the hard work and dedication that is shown to our children every day. In this season of Gratitude, let's celebrate the individuals who make Hinckley Big-Rock Elementary School a second home for our kids!
