Habit of the Month for April: Habit #7 Sharpen the Saw
Habit 7 is the habit of taking care of your body by eating right, exercising, and getting the right amount of sleep. It’s the habit of spending time with family and friends; to learn in lots of ways and lots of places, not just at school. The habit is about taking the time to find meaningful ways to help others.
In a nutshell, habit 7 is about taking care of yourself.
Essential Elements that are Necessary for Sharpening the Saw
Habit 7: What does “sharpen the saw” look like in a family setting?
As a family, you can “sharpen the saw” together by creating and observing family traditions. When we work to build family traditions together, we show we are valuing the basic needs of individuals and our families. Renewing our family is where family bonding, identity, fulfillment, and happiness is found. Many of these renewal times come when we are giving time to the “Big Rocks” we learned in Habit 3; regular one on one-time, regular meals together, regular family times and family rituals and traditions.
Questions to Explore with your Family
- It may be helpful to ask your family members what some of their favorite family traditions are.
- Is there anything they would like to make a tradition? Is there a tradition they would like to discontinue?
Finding Balance in your Family
While striving to have balance in our families we can look at the following four areas to assess where we are: Physical (our bodies), Mental (our mind/thoughts), Emotional (our feelings), and Spiritual. As a family, choose one or two areas to focus on at a time. Don’t overwhelm yourselves! Remember, the object is to strive for balance and that will look and feel different to each family.
Please always feel free to reach out to me as needed; your ideas, thoughts, and feedback are always welcomed.
Be safe and well.

Drop-off and Pick-up Safety---Please Be Mindful and Safe
- Drop-off and Pick-up Safety. Please Be Mindful and Safe
- To ensure your child's safety please do not double park (or stop anywhere in the street) or ask your student to cross the parking lot or walk between cars to get to you. THIS IS NOT SAFE.
- PLEASE use the designated crosswalk in front of the school where our crossing guard is on duty. Often, we see families jaywalking, and stopping traffic on Wells Avenue, which is illegal, obstructs motion traffic, and is not safe. Please take a couple of extra minutes to use the crosswalk.
- PLEASE be courteous do not block our neighbors' driveways. Again, please take the extra time to park and walk.
