All attendees will enter the building through the main entrance and be asked to sign in.

❥MUSICAL ABILITY: What activities in school require musical ability? How about outside of school? Do you play an instrument or sing? Look for examples of how you and other students use musical ability. Be sure to say something kind to them..

❥INTERPERSONAL ABILITY: What activities in school require the ability to get along with others? What about outside of school? Do you play on a team or belong to a club or service organization? Look around you for examples of how others are using this skill and be sure to say something kind to them..

❥INTRAPERSONAL ABILITY: What activities in school require you to know yourself? Think of ways you could develop your ability in this area. Could you draw a picture about your thoughts and feelings or talk to a friend about your hopes and dreams?

❥NATURALIST ABILITY: What activities in school require you to know about nature? How about outside of school? Do you collect rocks, shells or fossils? Think of ways to develop this ability. Could you join a hiking club or set up a bird feeder and learn about the birds who visit it?
