STUDENTS ANSWER, "WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR?"

Patty Ritchie

November 24, 2015

Through this year's Thanksgiving Day Creative Celebration, we received outstanding poems, essays, and artwork that exemplify the creativity of New York State’s young people.


The submissions received are remarkable in what they represent – showing gratitude and respect for family, friends, our troops fighting overseas, and many other important subjects and activities. I am humbled and honored to see such inspiring contributions in response to what is a deceptively difficult question: “What are you thankful for?”


On behalf of the New York State Senate, I would like to offer my wholehearted congratulations to all of the participants in this year’s Thanksgiving Day Creative Celebration.


Sincerely,

Senator Patty Ritchie
