Spring Break
I hope everyone had a nice spring break! I certainly did! I was able to take a brief trip to Florida to soak in the sunshine, bike, kayak, swim, eat, and of course, read - a lot! I'm sure a lot of you had fun participating in the Scavenger Hunt over the break. As a reminder, entries are due this Friday. Send your entry to wgehpta@westgenesee.org. Here are a few pictures the PTA graciously shared with me!
Positivity Project
This week during P2 time we will focus on "Identifying and Appreciating the Good in Others". According to the Positivity Project, This element means that you actively look for the good in others. Identifying and appreciating the good in others isn’t always what comes naturally. Often, it’s easier to blame others for our problems or find flaws in others to use as excuses for our own jealousy, bitterness, or resentment. The problem is that this negativity usually leads to problems – for ourselves, for the other person, and for our relationships. To see the good in others, we must first slow down and take the time to pay attention. Look for the intentions behind people’s words and actions. If you feel slighted, you can use perspective and ask, “Did that person intend to hurt me or did they just come across in an awkward manner?” It’s also useful to see the skills and character strengths others possess. Doing so leverages your appreciation of excellence and strengthens your leadership capacity.
