Silver Lining Challenge

“Every Cloud has a Silver Lining”

This common phrase is used to describe the good things that come out of a negative situation.

We are currently living in a world of uncertainty. We need to stay home in order to stay safe. Although this situation could cause us to be scared, anxious or mad, it also gives us one thing that we often did not have before this, TIME! Time to do or appreciate things that we had not before.

What is your Silver Lining?

Here is your CHALLENGE: Write, draw, color or decorate a Silver Lining-- something positive that this time at home has given you or your family!

Send it to Ms. Bisselle (Stephanie.b.bisselle@mcpsmd.net) and she will put all of our Silver Linings up on this page so we can see how McAuliffe students and staff are finding the good in this tough situation.
