The 3 Hurts:
When you talk to me, I will try to keep conversations confidential unless you tell me about the “3 Hurts”:
You hurt yourself
You hurt someone else
Someone hurts you
I may want to talk to your teacher if you tell me about a school problem, but I will discuss this with you first.
WE Couldn't Do It Without You!!!
We proudly celebrate and honor our incredible school staff at Montebello Intermediate School. Thank you for being the heart of our school and the steady support behind everything we do.
Your kindness, organization, patience, and dedication do not go unnoticed. Whether you’re helping students, supporting families, or keeping our school running smoothly, you make a lasting difference every single day.
We are truly grateful for all that you do—today and always!
With appreciation, 💙
This month's theme: SELF CARE SEPTEMBER
No-one's perfect. But so often we compare our insides to other people's outsides. This month we're encouraging everyone to be kinder to themselves (as well as others), especially when things go wrong. Self-care increases our resilience and helps us get more out of life. It also helps us accept others as they are too.
BE COMFORTABLE WITH WHO YOU ARE
Dwelling on our flaws - what we're not rather than what we've got - makes it much harder to be happy. Learning to accept ourselves, warts and all, and being kinder to ourselves when things go wrong, increases our enjoyment of life, our resilience and our well-being. It also helps us accept others as they are.
Having constant criticism in our heads about not being good enough is a sure way to be unhappy. This doesn't mean we should ignore our weaker areas or bad stuff that happens, but it does mean accepting that no-one is perfect, us included. It means putting our imperfections (and things that happen to us) into perspective - seeing them as normal rather than out of the ordinary. And it means a shift of focus, from what we don't have or can't do to what we have or can do.
"BE KIND TO YOURSELF"
PEACE, HAPPINESS & KINDNESS 💞

In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month this May, we are excited to share that MOI Eagles will be participating in weekly activities designed to promote emotional well-being, self-care, and a positive school climate.
Throughout the month of May, students will have the opportunity to engage in meaningful activities focused on mental health awareness, coping skills, and building a supportive and inclusive school community. These weekly activities will encourage reflection, connection, and healthy strategies for managing stress and emotions.
We encourage everyone to participate, show their support, and help us continue to build a school culture where mental health is valued and prioritized.
