THIS
WEEK AT SEATTLE WORLD SCHOOL
Thanksgiving
Message from Principal Cross
Dear
Seattle World School Family and Friends.
On
Thursday and throughout this coming weekend, many people around the United
States will recognize the Thanksgiving Holiday. It is commonly told by
many in history that in November of 1621, recently arrived immigrants from
England celebrated the successful harvest with a group of Native American
allies including Chief Massasoit of the Wampanoag tribe. A closer look at
the history reveals that it wasn’t that simple. Like the struggles we
face today, the story is complicated.
That is
why this Thanksgiving, I want to express my gratitude for everyone who fights
for justice, peace and harmony – each and every day.
- Thank
you, students within our communities struggling to make sense of their new
world and finding a path to navigate in order to grow and learn
together.
- Thank
you, parents and guardians within our families trying to build,
strengthen, and reconcile relationships and meet our basic needs in order
that we can live and love together.
- Thank
you, teachers and mentors within our schools and community centers
nurturing, inspiring, and listening to our youth in partnership with each
other to lead and teach together.
- Thank
you, health and human service providers within our hospitals, fire
departments, military branches, government agencies, grocery stores and
other like institutions who put their lives on the line each and every day
to ensure we can seek refuge and resources to sustain life safely
together.
- Thank
you, activists and leaders within our communities advocating for human
dignity and environmental rights so we can all survive and thrive
together.
Being
thankful and offering recognition for those who have impacted our lives is very
much possible, even if we are at a distance. While the current health
crisis and imposed restrictions will necessarily hamper many traditional
gatherings, there is still much we can do to nurture our kindred spirits.
So much of who we are is where we’ve been, whom we’ve loved, what we’ve
cherished, when we overcame, and how we survived and found peace, love and
harmony amid our complex and complicated lives. Over the next week and
into the Thanksgiving Holiday, I hope that we can each take the time we need to
safely share our stories of gratitude with each other.
Peace
and be well…
Bruno
