A High Five for Living Up
A High Five for Living Up
to Your Word!
to Your Word!
On October 10th, Keller Students attended an assembly in which they were asked to think about and honor their ONE WORD. The ONE WORD movement is meant to get students to think about what is it that drives them to succeed.
What makes it possible for us to get up in the morning and come to school on days when it is (and isn't) so easy?
In addition, during conferences students weren't asked to just share their own word with their families, but they were also asked to come up with ONE WORD the whole family could commit to.
Stop and think about how you (and/or your family) is living up to your ONE WORD. Tell your advisory teacher on Wednesday mornings what you've been doing to live up to your ONE WORD and you could earn a "high five." A sheet of five Wildcat tickets is our way of showing appreciation to you for living up to your word!
Top Four Ways to Live Up to Your Word!
Top Four Ways to Live Up to Your Word!
Make Time
Place in your schedule an actual day and time you will commit to living up to your own word.
For example, if your one word is "family", when will you spend time with them? If your one word is pride, what is something you will do daily or weekly that will make you feel that pride in yourself?
Invest
Use your time and money as a way to invest in what is important to you.
For example, if your health is important to you, are you spending your time and money on things that will make you healthier? If your word is hope, are you volunteering in organizations or making donations to people that will provide hope to yourselves and others?
Social Media
You could actually use your social media account to promote social awareness on how people could use or show your word in society.
For example, if your word is acceptance, you could create posts that all deal with how someone could show acceptance around the school and/or in the community.
Decisions
When others ask something of you, ask yourself, "Does this align with my one word, or my family's one word?"
For example, if someone says something disrespectful to you, are you going to say something disrespectful back or take the higher road and say something more respectful back?
They've Been BOOed!
They've Been BOOed!
These signs outside of teachers' doors, what do they mean?
As you may (or may not have noticed), there are many "I've been BOOed!" signs located outside staff members classrooms and offices. But what exactly do they represent?
In an effort to increase each other's happiness, the staff has been asked to leave behind a little treat for another staff member. Then the receiving party that was "BOOed!" is asked to pay the favor forward.
Perhaps this idea may even inspire you to boo someone today? Who could you leave a little something behind (either a treat or a note) to make their day?
