We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our weekly student newscast! Over the past few weeks, our incredible students have been hard at work on script writing, technology, and reporting.
Thank you to Mrs. Marquis and Mrs. Montreuil for their dedication and support in getting this project going. A special thank you to Mr. Skinner for helping setup the technology and helping me (Mr. Doane) with the video production side of things. We are excited to build our students' capacity and skills throughout the year!
Dear Families,
This week, our school community will focus on the Other People Mindset of Being present and giving others my attention. This means when we are with other people, we are present and give them our full attention.
In today's world, it's easy to get distracted by phone calls, messages, and social media. These distractions can pull us away from what's most important — our relationships with other people.
Just as plants need sunlight to grow, our relationships need attention. If we don’t give our full attention when we are with our family, friends, and even colleagues, we can't build strong relationships. It’s crucial to put down our phones and tablets and really listen when others are talking. Positive relationships are the foundation of a positive culture, and we can’t build positive relationships without attention.
To practice and encourage the Other People Mindset of being present and giving others our attention, please visit the Positivity Project’s P2 for Families. There, you will watch a video clip together and discuss a quote and three questions.
Thank you for your support!
