Things to be Thankful for this Year

With Thanksgiving looming tomorrow everyone probably has thoughts of turkey, stuffing and of course, pumpkin pie running through their heads. However, lets not forget what this holiday is really about, being thankful! With that, here is a short list of answers that you can give to the question that is inevitably asked every thanksgiving: "What are you thankful for?"

1. Family & Friends This one is kind of obvious, but that doesn't make it any less important. You are the way you are because of the people you surround yourself with, so now is the perfect time to realize what a blessing our loved ones are.

2. Food From pumpkin pie to turkey, Thanksgiving dinner puts some of the best foods on display. But lets be honest, pretty much all food is good food.

3. Education Although the majority of students complain about having to go to school, it is still something to be thankful for. Our wonderful teachers work hard everyday to make sure the learning experience is enjoyable and there are so many opportunities that come from being educated.

4. Jared the Security Guard Jared is dedicated to making the halls of HT safe for everyone. So, thank you Jared for making sure our school is secure, hats off to you! 5. Health Care Being sick is awful, but, it is such a blessing to have doctors and caretakers working at all hours to assist with everything from emergencies to curing the common cold.

6. The return of the caf cookies Although it was brief, the caf cookies made a comeback and have been rumoured to be coming back once a month. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but cross your fingers.

7. Life, duh Once again, this is kind of a given. Every day on earth is a gift from God and you get to choose what you do with that gift. 8. Edwin Encarnacion The Toronto Blue Jays' power hitter lead the team victory with a 3 run home run in the bottom of the 11th inning on Tuesday night in the wildcard game. Now the Jays will take on the Texas Rangers this Thursday in game one of the series.

9. The Titan Times The contributors of the school newspaper/blog work so hard to keep the student body up to date with everything happening around the school. There is something for everyone and there are weekly meetings if you are interested in joining! Contact Mrs Keats for more info!!
