Cook County youth share what they’re thankful for during the holiday season

As fall turns toward winter and the holiday season approaches, Cook County youth shared with WTIP what they are thankful for.

Students from the Oshki Ogimaag, Great Expectations School, Birch Grove Community School, and Cook County Schools shared their thoughts on the favorite fall and winter activities, family traditions, and what they were thankful for this year.

The youth voices will also air in a one-hour special program on WTIP  at 7 .p.m. on Nov. 28 following the Oh Ole’ Night parade in downtown Grand Marais. Audio from the youth is below.
