Being Present

Being Present
Last week during P2 time we focused on the first of five Other People Matter Mindset elements - being present and giving others our attention. As Mike Erwin said, "It's never been easier to be distracted from the person right in front of us." It is SO important to make sure that we are present with others. Ask you child what it means to be present, why it's so important, and how you can show you are present in a conversation.

Integrity
Integrity is doing the right thing when no one is watching. Integrity is this week's P2 focus. For more information on this character strength, click here!

Our two-week PARP (Pick a Reading Partner) celebration kicked off this afternoon.  Our theme is "Reading is Spooktacular!" You will receive more information about this today. Thank you to the PTA for arranging for author Troy Cummings to visit East Hill. We are busy getting ready for his visit! Click here to see the song our students made!
