We’ve
had a great opening to the 2017-2018 school year! The Ice Cream Social was a
big hit last Thursday night. A big thank you to our PTA for sponsoring this
annual event.
Last
Thursday and Friday students spent the morning learning what it means to be
respectful, responsible, and safe on the bus, in the hallways, in the
cafeteria, on the playground, upon arrival and dismissal, and during
assemblies.
 |
| Mrs. Hesler explicitly teaches arrival behaviors. |
 |
| Mrs. Reina explains appropriate assembly behavior. |
 |
| Mrs. Rose explains responsibility, respect, and safety on the bus. |
These student expectations blend seamlessly as
an introduction to our brand new character education program, The Positivity Project. The Positivity Project teaches
children by acknowledging and defining 24 different character strengths. These strengths
are already a part of who we are as people. The program helps children to
identify that as individuals we have these strengths and we continue to develop
different strengths throughout life. It is such a positive way to appreciate
the strengths in others as well as in ourselves! We kicked this program off
this week by discussing the Other People Matter mindset. The premise of this
slogan is that building healthy and lasting relationships between and among
people is going to make you happy because other people matter!
We will be providing continuous information as the program unfolds.
