KTurkeyChoi Thanksgiving

Pilgrims and turkeys were seen all over the school last Tuesday!

Once again, your outpouring of affection and support for the Massimo family was much appreciated.  We would like to share the link for the Massimo Family Go Fund Me campaign to raise money for the boys' college funds should you be interested.

Positivity Project Strength: Knowing my Words and Actions Affect Others
Everything we do, say, text, tweet, snap, or post can positively or negatively impact other people. Moving beyond our words and social media posts, our actions can also have ripple effects long after we make them. Deeds highlighting our character – such as forgiving a sibling, being present and enthusiastic about a classmate’s presentation, or kindly holding the elevator door for a stranger – can impact the people we love, work with, or even just bump into on the street. Through our actions – and the character strengths we do/don’t exemplify in them – we have the power to make somebody happy, sad, inspired, or discouraged. And, always remember, our words and actions are our choices to make.
