This week we kicked off year three of the Positivity Project!! We are spending the entire week on the Other People Matter Mindset. We are learning that we are going to continue working on building strong relationships this year. The main thing we all need to remember is that other people matter. Period. We will identify and appreciate the good in other people, understand that our words and actions affect other people, support others when they struggle, cheer on others' successes, and be present and give others our attention.

| P2 in Action |
We will be focusing on the character strengths of curiosity, teamwork, and open-mindedness in September. We are looking for pictures of students working as part of a team for an upcoming assembly. If you have a couple to share (scouts, sports, dance, etc.), please email them to me at lcraig@westgenesee.org. Thank you!Do you know what your top character strength is? Mine is fairness. You can find out yours by taking the free survey at viacharacter.org. Are you interested in learning more about the Positivity Project? Here's a short, seven-minute video that summarizes it for you!

PTA
Thank you to the PTA for another successful Ice Cream Social! I think we broke a record in the number of ice cream sundaes that were served this year. Luckily the weather cooperated for us once again. Please join us for our first PTA meeting of the year on Tuesday, September 17th in the East Hill Library at 6:30.
Come meet our new Superintendent, David Bills, on Tuesday, September 24th. This event, sponsored by the West Genesee PTA/PTO District Council will be held in the WGHSLGI at 7:00 pm.
Have a great rest of the week. I hope to see you tomorrow at Curriculum Night!
