Celebrate reading by dressing up for our themed days!

School Health Services Survey
The Fairfax County Health Department (FCHD) employs school health aides and public health nurses who provide school health services to the students in Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS). To determine the quality of these services, a survey has been developed by the FCHD to be shared with all parents or guardians. You may access this survey at the link provided below:

Positivity Project: Cheering Others’ Success
 |
|
This week we are working on ONE of the FIVE overarching pillars of the Positivity Project. Cheering others’ success is an important test of our character every single day.
“Friends don’t get jealous of each other or begrudge the other for finding success. They celebrate every victory together.” ~Karen Kingsbury
How To Be Happy for the Success of Others
- Be grateful. The root of jealousy is cut off when you focus on the things you DO have, not that you don’t have.
- Be inspired instead of discouraged by their success.
- Don’t compare yourself to others. Everyone is different.
- Know that your value does not come from external things.
