Seadog Families,
Let’s celebrate the following Superior Seadog Students of the Week: Windy McArthur, Kinley Rippy, Vincent Murray, Caroline Woodard, Gloria Dockery, and Mollie Cuthrell! Great Job Students!
This week our school community will be focusing on Identifying and Appreciating the Good in Others. It’s important to deliberately work to identify and appreciate others’ character strengths.
This Friday, May 3rd is our Annual Spring Carnival. We are seeking help from parents and community members to assist with a wonderful evening for our school. We thank all the sponsors and volunteers that have committed already to make this event a success. Please contact the school office if you’re interested in volunteering or donating items.
This is also a reminder that Friday, May 3rd is an Early Dismissal for students. Please make sure your student’s after school arrangements are confirmed. I hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend and as we gear into the last quarter of school we aren’t counting down the days but making every day count.
Thank you for your continued support! And remember, Seadog Students, if no one has told you today, know that Mrs. Clemmons deeply cares about you.

The Good in Others
This week our school community will be focusing on the Other People Mindset of Identifying and Appreciating the Good in Others. It’s important to deliberately work to identify and appreciate others’ character strengths.
Identifying and appreciating the good in others is a core tenet of the Other People Mindset. This isn’t always what comes naturally. Often, it’s easier to blame others for our problems or find flaws in others to use as excuses for our own jealousy, bitterness, or resentment. The problem is that this negativity usually leads to problems -- for ourselves, for the other person, and for our relationships.
Identifying and appreciating the good in other people helps you see the world through a more positive -- and less threatening -- lens. If you’re constantly seeing the negative traits of people, you’re going to think the world is comprised of bad people -- and you’re going to operate from a defensive posture. This isn’t to say that we should be naive or see the world, and its people, through “rose-colored glasses.” It’s just that we should strive to understand people’s intent. If you see the good in another, they are likely to see the good in you.
To practice and encourage the character strength of perspective with your child, please visit the Positivity Project’s P2 for Families (password: P2), where together you will watch a video, read a quote, and talk about the answers to three questions.
