Let’s celebrate the following Superior Seadog Students of the Week: Reagan Barker, Walter Stevenson, London Casillas, Jason Bellard, Christian Martinez, and Brooke Forsberg. Great Job Students!
Our P2 Word of the Week is Love. Please remember to show love and appreciation to all of our wonderful bus drivers this week as this week is “Love Your Bus Driver Week”. See below for more information.
Progress Reports along with Middle of Year Assessments will go home this Tuesday. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask your student’s teacher.
Spirit Week is happening now. See below for more information.
Next Monday, Feb. 19th is Presidents Day. There will be no school for students and an optional workday for staff.
Love
This week our school community will be focusing on the character strength of Love. Love means you value close relationships with others and being close to people.
The character strength of love represents the way we think, feel, and behave towards the people with whom we have close relationships. When one person loves another person, that person: comforts and makes the other feel safe; sacrifices on the other’s behalf; supports the other during struggles; and places the others' needs ahead of their own. If you love a person, that person makes you feel safe and secure. You can be yourself with that person. You miss that person when they are not around.
On a group level, love is vital for the wellbeing of society. The world is endlessly interconnected. We are all dependent upon each other for survival and happiness. Love produces positive feelings, which help negate loneliness, anxiety, and depression. Without love, we cannot form strong relationships with our families, friends, or communities. A world without love is a dangerous world.
To practice and encourage the character strength of love 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.
