🍂 Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here at NICRP! 🦃

Today and every day, we give thanks for the amazing educators, families, partners, and supporters who help Nevada’s youth learn and grow.

As we celebrate gratitude and togetherness, we also honor the Indigenous peoples whose lands we live and learn on and recognize that this day holds different meanings for many communities. 🧡

May we move forward with respect, reflection, and a shared commitment to creating spaces of belonging and opportunity for all!

👉 Tell us in the comments: What are you thankful for this year? 🗣️👇
