Theme of the Week 12/12: Self-Control
Next week is the character strength of Self-Control
WHAT DOES SELF-CONTROL MEAN?
You have the ability to control your emotions and behaviors. You think before you act.
WHY DOES THIS MATTER?
People with self-control are able to limit impulsive behavior, and they have the ability to work through difficulties while remaining poised. They understand that through discipline and restraint, there are greater, long-term goals that they can accomplish. Self-control is like a muscle: it gets stronger the more it is used.
“If you can learn self-control, you can master anything.”
– Unknown
To practice and encourage the character strength of Self-Control with your child, please visit the Positivity Project’s P2 for Families (password: P2), where together you will watch a video, read a quote, and talk about the answers to three questions.

On November 8, 2022 Fenton Area Public Schools will be asking voters to consider renewing a Sinking Fund of .8707 mills for a period of 10 years. This renewal will not raise taxes, and will keep the funding levels consistent for the next 10 years. Please remember a sinking fund is to fund infrastructure projects or repairs as they arise. Please consult our website for more information on the projects that have been funded in the last three years with our last sinking fund.
