Education Partners, hello,

First, my sincere wishes for a happy Thanksgiving. Remember that blessings come in all sizes – some so small that they’re hard to see at first. Yet, somehow these often produce the greatest joy. May you have plenty of opportunity to recognize and enjoy all of the gifts in your life.

Now, the news:
