Seadog Families,
This is Mrs. Clemmons with your weekly Reminders: Let’s celebrate the following Superior Seadog Students of the Week: Aliyah Murray, Julia Moore, Owen Brittingham, Ozzie Bridges, Noah Locklear, and Finn Brown.
Our P2 Word of the Week is Bravery. WHY DOES BRAVERY MATTER? Being brave is very important! Did you know a person can be brave every single day? Learning new things, like riding a bike without training wheels, can be scary! Bravery is finding the courage to try new
things even when scared.
Great Job bringing in over 66 lbs of candy for our “Treat for Troops'' initiative. Federal Cards should be in your child’s Green Folder. Please make sure to return to school by Thursday, November 9th. Impact Aid is a federal grant that we receive each year according to the participation rate from each school. Seadogs, I know we can be at 100% participation!

Bravery
This week our school community will be focusing on the character strength of Bravery. Bravery means you act with mental, moral, or physical strength even when you know things are difficult or scary.
Bravery refers to voluntary (not coerced) action in the face of a dangerous circumstance. This strength involves judgement; the brave person must have an understanding of the risks and consequences involved in acting.
Overcoming fears is critically important in individual development, as it allows the person to do more and become more. A person can be brave every single day. On a physical level, bravery allows us to overcome fears, such as swimming or playing a sport. And, on a moral level, doing what we know to be right, despite the risks, gives us the sense that we are acting on behalf of a larger purpose.
To practice and encourage the character strength of bravery 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.
