Positivity Project - Curiosity
This week, our school community will focus on the character strength of Curiosity. Curiosity means you like exploration and discovery. You ask lots of questions because you want to learn more about anything and everything.
Curiosity is essential to our character, driving our desire for wisdom and knowledge. It keeps us engaged in stories and encourages us to try new activities or travel. Everyone experiences curiosity differently — behaviorally, intellectually, and emotionally.
People with strong curiosity are more likely to ask questions and try new things. Curiosity is a form of courage because asking questions shows we don't know something, and trying new activities risks failure. However, it's through questions and exploration that we learn and grow.
To practice and encourage curiosity at home, please visit the mobile-friendly P2 for Families. There, you will watch a video clip together and discuss a quote and three questions related to the strength of curiosity.
Thank you for your support!

Parent Lunches with Students
We will open up the opportunity for parents to eat lunch with their children in early October. We appreciated the understanding for the delay. Our focus for the first month of school will be to ensure students know procedures and routines. Focusing on this at the beginning of the year strengthens our work for the months to come. Thank you!
