What Our Children Are Thankful For
November 15, 2021

We try to be grateful for everything we have all year round. This time of year allows us to focus and reflect on what we’re thankful for. The past year has been filled with its fair share of ups and downs for everyone, but we know we still have plenty to be grateful for — and so do the children at Children’s Lighthouse!

As part of our #ThankfulThursday campaign, We asked the children from Children’s Lighthouse schools across the country what they were thankful for and boy, did they deliver! From monster trucks to family, our children sure know how to keep things in perspective. Read on to find out what they’re grateful for and how they show their gratitude.
