No More Thankful Grams

Hypatia Fitzsimons

     Thankful Grams were fun little presents people could give to the ones they were thankful for, but sadly they are no longer available. When the school was selling the Boo Grams, some people thought it would be funny to send mean comments to others, but in reality, it was hurtful to both the people and the drive. Because of those few individuals who decided to send mean comments, we can no longer have any sales in which students can send messages to others.
     For those who do not know what the Thankful Grams are, they are similar to the Boo Grams ,but instead of receiving caramel apple suckers, they were Teddy Grahams and student council sold them. The Boo and Thankful grams were cute and meant to make people happy and feel cared for. Sadly, they were used inappropriately, so the school made the decision to end all sales similar to Boo Grams.
     Although it is disappointing that we no longer have the thankful grams, this might be a good lesson in the end. Sometimes people do not understand that others are joking and their words end up hurting them. It is okay to joke around with your friends, but just make sure that they understand it’s a joke and they are fine with it.
