In the spirit of the Thanksgiving holidays, the CalSERVES staff wanted to show their appreciation for each school site by acknowledging the hard work and dedication that each site and their team makes for their students and schools on a daily basis.
When you think of the month of November, the first words that might come into mind are: Thanksgiving or maybe even turkey.
Now imagine this: You are sitting around the table on Thanksgiving and it’s that time when each person says what they are thankful for. Got that picture in your mind? Well, now imagine all of the people who work in the CalSERVES office sitting around the table and each one is saying how grateful they are for each school site. It’s almost like a little CalSERVES Thanksgiving!
Due to scheduling conflicts, there wasn’t enough time to actually have a CalSERVES Thanksgiving, but a few office members came up with the next best thing! The staff wanted to show how much they appreciated the school sites by creating a turkey-like figure using the CalSERVES logo and on each of the feathers, the members of the office wrote an appreciation for each of the schools.
Afterwards, a couple of members from the office delivered those CalTURKEYS. As stated on each turkey, we are TRULY thankful to all of the site supervisors, classroom leaders, AmeriCorps members, and volunteers!
The communities served are fortunate because of the time and passion that is put in by every member of each school site. Keep up the great work and keep being the change and positive difference that our communities need to help our students reach their full potential!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
