This program is about giving thanks to others. There are many ways you can give your thanks verbally, in writing, or by your actions. Use the below kit to create a thank you note and give it to someone. Use the leaf to write what you are thankful for and give it to your parent or place it in a journal or scrapbook. The power of a thank you can go a long way to helps others feel better about themselves and what they are doing.
