National Day of Character


Today is National Character Day...an initiative to develop character strengths such as empathy, courage, responsibility, kindness and more. Scientists agree that character strengths can be learned, practiced, and cultivated for use at home, school, and in the community.  What character strengths do you have? What are character strengths that you admire in others?  When thinking about your character you should ask yourself, “Is what I am doing a reflection of who I am and what I want to be”? Remember...the true test of character isn’t how you are on your best days, but how you act on your worst ones.  Show your character Dragons!!

Open Lunch

Today we held our first weekly Open Lunch with the Counselor.  Any student is welcome to attend (8 per lunch period).  Today we began with our question of the day and the kids voted between the "Would You Rather" game vs. Dart Board Competition.  It is a fun way for me to get to know our students better and for our students to get to know each other better in a relaxed and fun environment. Open Lunches will be held every Monday throughout the school year.  Open Lunches are always a highlight for me and a great way to start off a new school week.  Happy Monday!
