Positivity Project:  The Positivity Project focuses on empowering students to build strong relationships with others. Visit https://posproject.org/ for more information.

Next week, our focus will be on the trait of Love. Love allows us to be intimate with another person. It allows us to open up to another person and be vulnerable. That openness gives us the ability to learn and grow. 

 Tip:  Ask your child how he/she demonstrates this trait at home and at school.


 

We enjoyed a great Helping Games pep rally and 2nd quarter awards assembly on Friday, January 31!  See some of the fun at this LINK!
