RVES News and Notes 1.10.20

SCHOOL NEWS: January 20, School Holiday

POSITIVITY PROJECT - PRUDENCE: Prudence is the ability to do the right thing, at the right time, for the right reason. It's a future-oriented way of
thinking that helps a person set goals, make plans, and have the discipline to accomplish them. It is cognitive – more a strength of the head than of the heart.
