Guidance Word of the Month
The word of the month
for December is Caring.
Caring is being kind, compassionate, and showing
that you care. Helping people in
need as well as forgiving others is
showing that you care. When you
are caring you are helpful, kind
and concerned towards others.
December 2014/January 2015
Principal’s Message...
"I believe in the magic of kindness ."
Kindness costs nothing but means so much. In times of anger
and frustration, extending courtesies and compassion are the
best ways to get what we need and want. Every day is an opportunity to teach our children how important it is to think, speak,
and act in a ‘kind’ spirit. Kindness should be shared without the
pronouncements of a holiday as the reason. Do something nice
for someone and see how quickly you feel the rewards !
-Sonya Nock-Lemons
