New Book Display: With Thanks

As we head into the Thanksgiving and winter holidays, we recognize the impact that others have had on our lives – among them, our family, friends, writers, artists, teachers, and muses, known, less known, perhaps even unknown. Their gifts, contributions, and influences help us see that we are all richly and deeply connected by human experience. And, in being part of the relational whole, our individual accomplishments and achievements rarely stand alone, with strength in our interdependence.

This book display brings together anthropological, cultural, educational, historical, philosophical, psychological, and religious perspectives on gratitude, in recent years a conscious element of the school curriculum.

While today’s world has its share of social, political, economic, and educational challenges, and there is fragility in the human condition and life on Earth, we hope that With Thanks allows us to pause and reflect -- and ultimately to draw deep appreciation for all that is good.
