Humility

Humility
Humility is the character strength focus of the week. Humility means you do not seek the spotlight; you let your actions speak for themselves. Humble people have an accurate (not underestimated) sense of their abilities and achievements. For a one-page overview from the Positivity Project on humility, click here.

Kindness was last week's character strength focus.
Community Giving
Thank you so much to those of you that were able to take a tag off of our giving tree and purchase an item or two for a local family. Please remember to bring in your wrapped gift, with the tag securely fastened on, to the school by this Friday. Thank you so much for your generosity!

Label Those Clothes!
This is the time of year when students tend to lose their boots, snow pants, gloves, etc. Please take a few minutes to clearly label your child's belongings. You will be glad that you did! Also, if you have any gently used snow pants, boots or gloves you'd like to donate to the school, we'd love to take them off of your hands!

Calls for Commentary
Please take a few minutes to respond the the District's Calls for Commentary. This annual survey helps our Strategic Planning Committee to identify the areas of the district that are cause for celebration and identify those areas where improvement is needed. Here is the link. Thank you for your time!

Kindergarten Registration
