NO HOMEWORK!!!!!!NO HOMEWORK!!!!!!NO HOMEWORK!!!!!!
NO HOMEWORK!!!!!!NO HOMEWORK!!!NO HOMEWORK!!!!!!!!!

I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAYS!!
HAVE FUN AND BE SAFE DURING THE HOLIDAYS
DON'T FORGET TO GIVE GOD THANKS FOR EVERYTHING HE HAS GIVEN YOU THIS YEAR

Here are a few quotes for you to think about during the holidays. Have a great Thanksgiving Holiday!!!

It has seemed to me fit and proper that God should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged, as with one heart and one voice, by the whole American people. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November as a day of Thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent Father Who dwelleth in the heavens.
--Abraham Lincoln's Thanksgiving Proclamation October 3, 1863

We give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way.
--ritual chant

The pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts ... nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving.
--H. W. Westermayer

Do not get tired of doing what is good. Don't get discouraged and give up, for we will reap a harvest of blessing at the appropriate time.
--Galatians 6:9

Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.
--WT Purkiser

Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then...do something. Don't just stand there, make it happen.
--Lee Iacocca

If someone is going down the wrong road, he doesn't need motivation to speed him up. What he needs is education to turn him around.
--Jim Rohn
