This Week's Events
Cafe O'Yea
The Wellness Committee has invited Heathcorp for a Cafe O'Yea on Wednesday, January 17th from 12-12:30pm. To align with the wellness theme of “Spark to Serve” and getting students involved in community service, they’ll be having students decorate a card and/or writing a short, positive message. They’ll collect all the cards across the different schools they go to and send them to their contacts to pass along to the VA Hospital and/or a care home for the elderly. They will provide all the supplies and materials needed for the activity.

Leader in Me
Month 5 is all about Habit 4, Think Win-Win. It is a belief that there are enough good things for everyone; it is an abundant way of thinking. Think Win-Win is being happy for others when good things happen to them. I balance courage for getting what I want with consideration for what others want.
