Character Word of the Week:  Thankfulness means a feeling of gratitude; to give thanks.

As citizens of the United States of America, we have many things to be thankful for and to express gratitude.  One of the things that will be happening on November 6, 2012  is the 2012 Elections.  Having the right to participate in the democratic process and to elect our governing officials or leadership is one of the many things that citizens of the U.S.A. are thankful.  On October 31, 2012, the students at Phenix City Elementary School participated in a Mock Election.  Kindergarten through fifth grades students, the faculty, and staff were given the opportunity to vote for President of the United States. 

Quotable Quote:  "Appreciation is the highest form of prayer, for it acknowledges the presence of good wherever you shine the light of your thankful thoughts."
