PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
Dear Students,
As we move forward this school year, I want to encourage each of you to give your best effort every day. Work hard, stay focused on your goals, and don’t hesitate to reach out to your teachers for support – we are here to help you succeed. Above all, remember to be kind to one another. A small act of kindness can make a big difference in someone’s day. Let’s make this year a great one together!
Dear Families,
This week, our school community focused on the character strength of Teamwork – as we prepared for homecoming. Teamwork means you work well as a member of a group or team. You are loyal, reliable, and dedicated to helping your team achieve its goals.
Teamwork involves prioritizing group success. Those strong in teamwork help all group members succeed, committing time and resources to the group’s goals. They often delay personal accomplishments to ensure the group’s overall success, which fosters positive feelings and counters selfishness and egotism.
For individuals, teamwork often means deferring or delaying individual accomplishments in order to ensure that the group maintains a high level of success. Their commitment to the larger group effort makes them good teammates. The positive feelings associated with being part of a larger whole — can be highly beneficial and combat selfishness and egotism.
To practice and encourage the character strength of teamwork at home, please visit the Positivity Project’s mobile-friendly P2 for Families. There, you will watch a video clip together and discuss a quote and three questions related to teamwork.
Thank you for your continued support!
