As we reach Thanksgiving break here at Itasca ISD, we’ve asked all students in the elementary school what they’re thankful for to prepare for a week of rest, gratefulness, and filling meals!

 If your child isn’t listed, we do apologize. We took a sampling, and all no names, illegible responses, or children without consent forms weren’t published. Thank you for understanding!
