11/23 - Stop by and choose a quote to take with you as a reminder of keeping gratitude in your thoughts. Additionally, take one our handouts for gratitude practices to do in the moment or at any time.
11/30 - This year the Model UN club will be participating in Giving Tuesday starting November 30th. For the month of December, the student body will be able to recognize others for their acts of kindness and celebrate generosity they see on a daily basis. We hope that this will in turn spark positivity throughout our school and community. Students will be able to scan a QR code through posters located throughout the building, and recognize each other for their good works. Model UN delegates will collect the forms and recognize students in our school who are a force for good and spread kindness.
Join the #UnfSelfie movement! Come down to our station by the school store and take an Un-Selfie! An #UnSelfie is simply a self-portrait where students write about the cause they support with the hashtag #UnSelfie and post it on their social media.
